Where it works well
Make an occasional admission, reveal or redemption feel tangible without slowing down a frequent action.
Reduced motion
The stub disappears and the admission stamp appears immediately. Drag distance still determines intent, with a single-click alternative.
Things to know
Admission is local demo state. Use an authoritative server response before showing a successful real-world redemption; this gesture is not a security or payment mechanism.
