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.
