## What is Star Hunter?

The night sky becomes a treasure hunt! Star Hunter turns your iPhone or iPad into a constellation finder for young astronomers aged 9-11.

POINT. FIND. COLLECT.
Raise the phone toward the sky and gentle arrows guide you to tonight's target. Hold steady for 2 seconds and the constellation draws itself, star by star, right where you're pointing.

TONIGHT'S THREE QUESTS
Every evening brings three fresh quests, tuned to what is really above the horizon at your stargazing spot tonight — planets included. If Orion has already set, he's not on the list.

TWENTY CONSTELLATIONS AND THREE PLANETS
• From Orion to the Southern Cross
• Venus, Mars and Jupiter
• Rarity tiers make Lyra a collector's prize

EVERY FIND UNLOCKS A STORY
Each catch unlocks a 60-second myth, read aloud: why Orion flees the scorpion, how Cassiopeia ended up on her throne — plus a fun science fact to amaze the grown-ups.

MOON LOG AND RANKS
Log all 8 moon phases to earn the Luna badge, and climb the ranks from Stargazer to Sky Captain to Astronomer Royal.

RED-LIGHT MODE
A real astronomer trick: one tap turns the whole app red so your night vision stays sharp for actual stargazing.

MADE FOR KIDS, TRUSTED BY PARENTS
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking
• No account, no internet needed — works fully offline
• All progress stays on the device
• No reading required to navigate
• Finger-pointing mode if you'd rather not wave the phone around

Open the window. Raise the phone. The sky is waiting.
