Faith shared the creation in a selfie-style video filmed inside a car, walking her followers through how the game works in her signature upbeat, casual manner.

How the Snapchat Game Works

In the game, the player is paired with three of their real friends and must complete a series of physical challenges to "rescue" each one.

The tasks range from rapid screen taps to opening your mouth and raising your eyebrows, all timed to test how quickly you can reunite your squad. Once all three friends are saved, the group of four comes together, mirroring the central theme of the film.

Faith clocked a personal best of 15.4 seconds and threw down the challenge to anyone willing to beat her time. The filter also includes a built-in ticket purchase button that links directly to the Filmhouse Cinemas website, allowing users to book their seats for The Four without leaving the app.

The film's director and lead, Funke Akindele, spotted the post and was clearly delighted. She commented:

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a throwback clip from Jenifa's Diary stirred fresh waves of nostalgia online, after Funke Akindele weighed in on a fan-shared video from the beloved comedy series.

On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Akindele quoted a fan's post featuring her iconic character Jenifa in a scene alongside Mr Willy Willy, a role brought to life by the late Alexx Ekubo.

In the clip, Jenifa was seen trying to get Mr Willy Willy to entertain a romantic connection, which the fan found amusing enough to caption: "Ashewo Dey this jenifa eyes sha."
