## What is NightCrew?

Turn your whole town into a game.

NightCrew runs real-life games for your friend group. Your phones handle the roles, the timers, the map and the scoring. You do the running, hiding and lying.

MANHUNT: HIDE AND SEEK ACROSS YOUR TOWN
Hiders get a head start and scatter. Every few minutes their locations ping on the hunters' map. Hunters jump in cars, grab bikes or go on foot to track them down. Catch someone, snap a photo, and they're out. Last one standing wins.
• Live map with location pings on a timer the host picks
• Play zones that can shrink, or shrink and move, every few minutes
• Big round timer and ping bar on screen, on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Team chat, plus one for everyone
• Pings keep going with your phone locked in your pocket
• Optional power-ups: radar for hunters, cloak and decoy pings for hiders
• Photo proof for every catch: tag everyone in the shot and the whole crew votes
• Pick the teams, and add friends without a phone so they can still play

TARGET: SECRET TARGETS IN REAL LIFE
Everyone gets a secret target, and someone has you. Catch your target on camera to take them out and inherit theirs. The crew checks every photo, so no cheap shots.
• Secret target reveals with dark, glow-free screens
• Hunting hours so the game fits around real life
• Photo catches the whole crew votes on

PLUS IMPOSTER AND MAFIA
• Imposter: everyone gets the secret word except one. Talk it out and find the liar. Make your own word packs, or pass one phone around with no signal needed.
• Mafia: the classic night-and-day game. The app runs the roles, night moves and votes.

BUILT FOR YOUR CREW
• Host a lobby and share a 4-letter code or QR. Friends join in one tap
• Up to 30 players per game, and invite friends straight from the lobby
• MVP awards, rematches and win history
• Game alerts, sounds and haptics (turn them off anytime)
• Profile pictures, friends and invites
• Test mode with bots to learn any game first
• No ads

Play safe: Manhunt and Target are played in the real world. Stay aware of your surroundings, follow traffic laws, and never play while driving yourself. Location is only shared with the players in your game while it's running, and it stops when the game ends.
