## What is Ghost Hunter?

Ghosts are drifting through the graveyard, and it's your job to catch them before they slip away. Tap a ghost and it gets sucked right into your trap. Let one escape and a lantern goes out. Lose all your lanterns and the hunt is over.

Sounds simple. It isn't.

Every ghost plays by its own rules:
- Phantoms and Wisps go down with one tap. Easy money.
- Hooded Specters wear a veil you have to crack first.
- Poltergeists teleport the second you hit them.
- Banshees split into two Wisps when you trap them.
- Golden Ghosts are fast, rare, and worth a pile of ecto.
- Lost Souls wear a halo. Don't tap them. Let them pass and you get a mercy bonus. Tap one by mistake and it'll cost you.

Every fifth wave, the Wraith King shows up. He's big, he's mean, and he keeps calling in backup. Tap him till he's done.

WHAT'S IN IT
- 8 haunted worlds to unlock, from Hollow Hill Cemetery to a creepy carnival, an Old West ghost town and a farm under a harvest moon. Each one is harder and pays better than the last.
- A Daily Hunt with a new twist every day. Everybody gets the same run, so you can see how you stack up on the daily leaderboard.
- Combos up to x5 if you can keep the chain going.
- Power-ups like Frost, Spirit Bomb and Soul Vortex for when things get out of hand.
- A Ghostpedia to fill, with lore for every ghost and rewards for hitting milestones.
- Upgrades for your gear, plus lantern colors and trap effects to show off.
- Nightly rewards for coming back.
- Game Center leaderboards and 17 achievements.
- Your progress syncs through iCloud, so you can switch between iPhone and iPad without starting over.
- Reduce Flashing and Reduce Motion options if you need them.

THE FINE PRINT (THE GOOD KIND)
No ads. No in-app purchases. No account to set up. You buy it once, and it's yours. All the art, music, and sound effects were made just for this game.

It starts easy. It does not stay easy. Grab a lantern and see how long you last.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-25

New Haunt: Ravenmoor Castle

Turn your phone sideways. The 9th haunt takes you through a haunted castle, past moonlit windows, flickering chandeliers, and a portrait whose eyes follow you. Ghosts come at you from ahead and sneak up from behind, so keep your eyes moving.

It starts easy and gets meaner every wave. Score 200,000 to unlock it, and every ghost you trap there is worth 3.5x points.

Also new:
• A pipe organ soundtrack for the castle
• Bug fixes and polish
