## What is Hunting Game?

Hunting Game turns your neighbourhood into a real-life manhunt. Chasers track Runners on a live GPS map; Runners get only a compass that shows who is closing in. Play manhunt, hide and seek or tag with friends outdoors: at a party, on camp, on a school trip or at team building. Free for up to 4 players.

HOW IT WORKS
One of you creates a game and shares its code; the rest join, pick a team and head outside. At every location update, Chasers see where the Runners are on the GPS map. Runners see only a compass pointing at the nearest Chaser, so they have to keep moving and keep guessing. Catch up with a Runner and tag them out by typing in the code on their screen; stay free until the clock runs out and you win. Coins you earn as you play buy the power-ups that turn a chase around. It is hide and seek on a real map, in your own streets.

WAYS TO PLAY
• Manhunt – Chasers track Runners on the map. Runners see much less.
• Hide and Seek – Runners hide, Chasers search the play zone without seeing anyone on the map, and the zone shrinks so nobody can hide forever. A Pro mode.
• Family – Manhunt with a referee who sees everyone on the map, for parents, teachers and organisers.
• Your rules – play it as tag or cops and robbers, then set the game length, the play zone and how often locations update.

POWER-UPS
For Chasers:
• Scan – instantly update every Runner's location
• Blackout – block every Runner's screen for a while
• Decoy – Runners see you at a spot you pick
For Runners:
• Stealth – skip your team's next location share
• Blackout – block every Chaser's screen for a while
• Map – show every Runner where everyone is for a while

FEATURES
• Free for up to 4 players, up to 100 with Pro; only the host needs Pro
• Live GPS tracking, outdoors on a real map
• Follow the game from your lock screen, widgets and watch
• Shrinking play zone for a tense finale
• Team chat to plan the ambush or the escape
• Add friends and invite them to your next game
• Earn XP, level up, unlock achievements and track your stats

PERFECT FOR
• Team building and company days
• Birthday parties
• Summer camps, scouts and youth groups
• School trips and class outings
• Campus-wide games
• Family days out

No special equipment needed: just your phone, your friends and somewhere outdoors to play.

### 5/5 — Great app, 5 stars.

*2026-11-08*

This app makes manhunt so much easier to play, so much more fun, and I hope to see it continue to update!

### 4/5 — Geiles Spiel aber….

*2026-11-06*

Das Spiel ist richtig cool aber es ist so doof das man sich Pro kaufen muss um die ganzen Funktionen zu benutzen. Ohne Pro nur 4 Spieler in einem Game möglich undicht so vieles mehr. Ihr müsst euch da was überlegen. Mach ohne irgendein Abo, dann wäre die App Meha und TOp 1 App

### 5/5 — Peak app

*2026-11-01*

Played this with my friends best app I’ve ever downloaded.

### 1/5 — Do not get it ppl can track you

*2026-11-01*

Me and a couple of my friends were playing and a grey ram truck started following us and yelling at us and pulled into my other friends driveway and they called the cops and it was crazy but if u wanna get hunted by real ppl get it ig

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your experience! That sounds genuinely scary, and we hope everyone is safe. Hunting Game only shares your location with other players in your game, not with random people nearby. We always recommend playing in safe, public areas and staying aware of your surroundings. If someone is following or threatening you, please stop playing and contact local authorities. Your safety always comes first!

### 5/5 — PLEASE ADD ZONE SHRINK

*2026-11-01*

PLEASE ADD ZONE SHRINK AND INFECTION!!!!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-10-31*

Dommage qu’encore une fois l’on doit payer pour avoir plus de fonctionnalité pourtant essentiel mais sinon incroyablement parfait !!!

### 5/5 — Gute App

*2026-10-31*

Wäre cool wenn es einen Bonus gibt wo man jemand anderes zwingen kann ein Foto von seiner Umgebung zu machen das aber jeder Sucher nur eins von diesen boostern hat. Sonst ist es aber insgesamt eine ganz gute App

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-10-30*

I used it with my friends and its loads of fun, crazy fun experience and its safe to use for people of all ages

### 3/5 — PRO version

*2026-10-30*

I wanted to play this with my friends, but the app has a “PRO” subscription that doesn’t allow you to play with more than 4 people if you don’t have the PRO version, it’s pretty annoying, but otherwise the app is decent.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-10-26*

Amazing game!! So fun, would be a lot cooler if the zone on man hunt shrunk every few minutes?

**Developer response:** Thanks Ben! You asked at exactly the right time: the shrinking zone is in
6.1.0, which just went live. Update the app and Manhunt gets a play zone that
shrinks as the round goes on. Have fun out there.
