Scary Prank: point the camera at a friend, take their photo, and watch a ghost appear beside them, right before it jumps out with a scream. 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. SEVEN PRANKS • Ghost Camera: "Let me take a photo of you." A ghost develops in the picture, then bursts out. • Ghost Detector: "This app finds ghosts." The radar sweeps, the readings climb… (just for fun: it detects nothing) • 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." TEN ORIGINAL GHOSTS The Grin, Pale Girl, Skull, Hollow Eyes, Demon, Broken Doll, the Jack-o'-Lantern, The Witch and, new for Christmas, horned Krampus and Grim Santa, each with its own scream, sting, growl or bells. 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 Ghost Camera, Ghost Detector, Haunted Mirror and the maze, three ghosts and two sounds are free, and the two Christmas ghosts are free for everyone until December 26. 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. Camera pictures stay on the screen: nothing is recorded, uploaded or saved.
