## What is Local Arenas?

Local Arenas turns your neighbourhood into a game map. Real GPS, real running, real friends.

ZONE HUNT
Hide and seek with a twist. Hunters chase, hiders run, and the play area shrinks like a storm. Every time the zone closes, everyone's location is revealed. Play Standard, Gang Up, Impostor, Power-ups, Blackout or Teams.

CAPTURE THE FLAG
Split into teams, place your flag in your territory and defend it. Tag enemies to send them back to respawn, hold an enemy flag for 10 seconds to capture it, and spend your team's currency in the shop on Scout, Shield, Freeze, Decoy Ping and Alarm. Add Hidden Flag, Multi-Flag, Permadeath and Sudden Death to change how a match plays.

HOW IT WORKS
- Host a game on a real map and invite friends with a code or a link
- Everything runs on live GPS, no waiting for turns
- Chat with the whole game or just your team
- Track your stats and recent results in your profile

Local Arenas needs location access while you play, including in the background while your phone is locked. Play safely, stay aware of traffic and only play where you're allowed to be.

Hosting a game is free once a week. For more, buy a Day Pass (unlimited hosting for 24 hours) or a one-time Pro Unlocked purchase (unlimited hosting forever, no subscription). Joining games is always free.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-10-13*

Had so much fun playing this with my friends! Such a great way to get moving and get outside. The app was so easy to navigate and I loved all the fun party modes!

### 5/5 — Our kids love this!

*2026-10-12*

This is such a well-made version of this type of app. Heaps of options that aren’t complicated. Games are easy to navigate - our kids have no issues with game play. Also love the close proximity detection so its actually accurate! 
Worth a shout out to the dev team on this. Really top-notch app.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 3.0.1 — 2026-10-27

Zone Hunt is now part of Local Arenas, a collection of real-world games for you and your friends.

IMPORTANT BUG FIXES:
Players who lose connection in a lobby are no longer removed, hosts can’t start a game with nobody online, and credits are refunded if a game falls apart in the first minutes. Capture the Flag now checks credits and verified email like Zone Hunt. Stats now stop counting when a player disconnects. Added crash reporting so we can fix problems faster.

NEW: CAPTURE THE FLAG
• Two to four teams, flags to place and defend, and a team shop with Scout, Shield, Freeze, Decoy Ping and Alarm
• Expansions: Hidden Flag, Multi-Flag, Permadeath and Sudden Death

ZONE HUNT UPDATES
• Teams mode: see your teammates live, with team colour rings and a players list grouped by team
• Randomising hunters is now a secret, with a "you're a hunter" or "you're a hider" reveal when the game starts
• A new "you're out" moment when you leave the play area
• The host setup map now shows the final zone as a pulsing ring inside the starting zone

EVERYTHING ELSE
• A new game picker and refreshed branding
• Progress bars while lobbies are created and games start
• Unread message counts on each chat
• Clearer messages when an invite code doesn't match a game
• Many fixes and improvements

### 2.2.24 — 2026-10-11

No release notes.
