About

Pass the Fire

Read full description

Lighters wander. You lend one in a pub garden and never see it again. Pass the Fire makes that the game. Every Pass the Fire lighter carries a QR code. Scan it and you see its whole journey: every place it has been, who had it, how far it has travelled. Add your own stop, then pass it on and watch where it goes next. HOW IT WORKS • Scan the QR on a lighter, or type its six-letter code • See its journey on a map, stop by stop • Check in where you are. Your phone's GPS confirms you are really there • Pass it on. Every mile it travels counts for everyone who held it CLIMB THE BOARDS • Lighter boards: furthest travelled and most hands, today, this week, this month, this year or all time • People boards: score, finds, buys, distance and your found-to-bought ratio • A league for official lighters and one for wild ones you sticker yourself COLLECT • Four tiers: Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary, plus Wild • 24 colours to find, from everyday solids to neon, gold and the Legendary Icy • See exactly how many of each exist EARN 84 BADGES • Firsts, streaks, distance, collections, friends, late nights and long hauls • Every badge has its own medal, and your progress shows before you unlock it PLAY WITH FRIENDS • Add friends from any lighter's journey or with a friend code • Chat with everyone who has held the same lighter • A friends-only board and a feed of what they have found FAIR BY DESIGN • Check-ins need a real GPS fix, and impossible journeys are rejected • Every lighter rests after a stop, so nobody can farm one from their sofa • Report or block anyone in two taps No account needed to play. Sign in with Apple or Google to save your progress, earn badges and join the people boards. Pass the Fire is for adults aged 18 and over. Use lighters responsibly, pass them on hand to hand or leave them only in adult venues, and never where a child could find one.
