## What is Scary Prank?

Scary Prank: hand your friend the phone, wait a few seconds, and watch them jump.

Pick a prank, give the phone to your victim with an innocent line, and a ghost bursts onto the screen with a scream and a shudder of vibration. Then laugh, and tap Again.

FIVE PRANKS
• Haunted Mirror: "Check your hair in this mirror." A live mirror in an old frame, until it isn't.
• Steady Hand Maze: "Bet you can't finish level 3." Drag the dot without touching the walls.
• Stare Test: "Stare at the cross for 20 seconds and the colours vanish." It's a real illusion.
• Spot the Difference: "Find all five in a minute."
• Calm Aquarium: "Watch this, it's so relaxing."

SIX ORIGINAL GHOSTS
The Grin, Pale Girl, Skull, Hollow Eyes, Demon and Broken Doll, each with its own scream, sting or growl. Or turn your own photo into a ghost.

MAKE IT YOURS
Choose the ghost, the sound and when it appears: a surprise moment, or after 5, 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds.

FREE TO PLAY
Haunted Mirror and the maze, three ghosts and two sounds are free. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks everything else: no subscription, no ads. Bought the old Time Controller? Restore it to get Pro.

PLAY IT SAFE
The scare is a sudden picture with a loud sound. Don't use it on young children, older people, anyone who is pregnant or has a heart condition or epilepsy, or anyone who is driving or on stairs.

Privacy: no ads, no account, nothing collected. The camera is only a live mirror; nothing is recorded or saved.
