GOTCHA is a jump-scare prank camera: hand your phone to a friend, and it films the moment they jump. They play a staring game — how long can they hold their stare on the red dot? Underneath, a heartbeat builds, faster and faster. Then GOTCHA strikes: a full-screen monster, a scream, cracked glass, and a rumble they'll feel in their hands. The best part is what happens next. The front camera was rolling the whole time, so the second it's over you have a ready-to-share clip of their reaction. No editing, no second phone, no missed moment. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your monster and how long the suspense lasts. 2. Hand your phone over: "bet you can't hold your stare." 3. They stare at the dot. The tension builds. 4. GOTCHA! The monster jumps out — and their face is already on camera. 5. Share the clip anywhere in one tap. SIX MONSTERS Zombie (free), Devil, Ghoul, Spider, Skull and Alien — with more on the way. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The camera runs only during a prank you start. Clips stay on your phone and are never uploaded. No account, no ads, no tracking. Sharing is always your choice. GOTCHA PRO — one-time purchase Unlock all six monsters and remove the watermark from your clips. Yours forever, no subscription. GOOD TO KNOW It's a jump scare: a sudden loud noise and a frightening cartoon monster. The staring game is only a game — nothing is tested, measured or scored, and the app never reports a result about anyone. Prank people who'll laugh about it, ask before you share a clip of someone, and skip anyone who shouldn't be startled — heart conditions, epilepsy, or young kids.
