You've been Ghosted. Ghosted is a one-thumb arcade race where you don't play against the computer — you race a recording of your friend. Every run you make becomes a "ghost" your friends have to beat. Send the challenge, watch them squirm, and keep the streak alive. You're Pip, a little ghost with one trick: phasing. - HOLD to dematerialize and slip straight through the solid walls. - RELEASE to snap back to solid and pass through the energy gates. Match your state to whatever's coming — miss it and you're done. Get deep enough and spirit mines start drifting into the gaps. Thread the gates cleanly to charge your ecto meter, then unleash a BOOST: an invincible dash that blasts through everything, with a split-second shield so you never lose control on the way out. RACE YOUR FRIENDS Every challenge is a real ghost — your friend's exact run, mirrored beside you in real time. Losing by half a second is unbearable. Rematch in a single tap. KEEP THE STREAK Trade challenges every day to build a rivalry streak with each friend. Miss a day and it's gone. CLIMB THE BOARD Every run is ranked against the world. Chase the all-time leaderboard or today's board, which wipes clean every night — then send any run you're proud of straight back out as a challenge. CREW UP Start a crew for your group chat and get one shared board — all-time and today's bests, just your people. Invite with a link or a short code. HUNT THE TROPHIES 25 trophies to collect, from your first clean gate to the 5000m Final Boss of the Afterlife. Run far enough and you'll unlock Mochi, Volt and Minty to race as. - Free, no accounts, nothing to sign up for - One hand, sub-60-second runs - Play offline — challenges send through your own messages How far can you get before your friends Ghost you back?
