Questscape turns your city, campus, or local park into a digital battleground. We combine real-world movement with digital strategy to create the ultimate outdoor social gaming platform. AVAILABLE NOW: ROAD TRIP GAMES & BATTLESHIP (IRL) & HIDE & SEEK ROAD TRIP GAMES Turn any drive into a something fun. Road Trip Games is a collection of fast, fun games designed for 2 to 10 players on the go—no internet required. Whether you're on a cross-country road trip or a short drive across town, keep everyone entertained with games built for the car. BATTLESHIP (IRL) A real-world adaptation of the classic naval strategy game powered by live GPS. Gather 2 to 10 players for a tactical war in your own neighborhood. Create a lobby, map your real-world battlefield, and deploy your fleet. Once the game begins, you must move around the map to build your point economy by capturing lighthouses, collecting debris, and completing real-world missions. Spend your points strategically on intel and warfare to sink their battleships before they sink yours. HIDE & SEEK Forget the childhood version—this is tactical, fast-paced, and heavily reliant on deception. As a Hider, you will find the perfect hiding spot within a custom-drawn boundary. When Seekers ask questions, use your limited supply of Lies strategically to throw them off your trail. As a Seeker, you hunt using the live map. You must earn points by completing real-world photo tasks, then spend that intel to ask Hiders direct questions and narrow down their location. KEY FEATURES Draw Your Own Map: Use our custom map tool to draw a game zone anywhere in the world—from a single park to an entire city block. Live GPS Tracking: See teammates, boundaries, and intel on the map in real-time. Strategic Arsenal: Gain the upper hand using mode-specific abilities like Radius Checks, Lies, Photo Evidence, Radar, and Missiles. Lobby System: Easily host games and invite friends via Room Code. Get off the couch and get into the game. Download Questscape and start your adventure today! https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

TURN YOUR CITY INTO A GIANT GAME HideZone brings Hide & Seek and other real-life multiplayer games outside. Use live GPS to play with your friends across parks, neighborhoods, forests, downtown streets, and anywhere else you want to play. Create a private game, invite your friends, and choose your game mode. Hide, hunt, chase, survive, and see who can outsmart everyone else. GAME MODES ● Hide & Seek: The classic game with a shrinking zone. Stay hidden and keep moving while Seekers track you down. ● Zombie Infection: One player starts as Patient Zero. Every tag creates a new zombie until survivors grab the antidote in the Cure Zone. ● Chase / Manhunt: High-speed real-life chase. Seekers only get a vague search circle instead of an exact location, making every pursuit unpredictable. ● Assassin: Everyone gets one secret target. Eliminate your mark to inherit theirs until only one player remains. ● Freeze Tag: Get tagged and freeze in place with your location revealed. Teammates must reach you to thaw you back into the game. ● Mr. X Hunt: Mr. X sees all Detectives live on the map, while Detectives only receive periodic location pings. Coordinate and corner Mr. X before time runs out. ● Sardines: Reverse Hide & Seek. One player hides and everyone searches. When you find them, hide with them until one searcher is left. ● Murder Mystery: One player is secretly the Murderer. Complete GPS tasks for clues and eliminate suspects, but pick wrong and you both lose. ● Meteor Escape: Meteors strike across the map. Stay on the move, avoid the blast zones, and be the last player standing. ITEMS THAT CHANGE THE GAME ● Scanner: Reveal enemy locations for a short time. ● Decoy: Place a fake GPS ping on the map and send your opponents in the wrong direction. ● Proximity Mine: Place a digital trap and get alerted when someone walks into it. ● Ghost Mode: Temporarily disappear from GPS and set up an ambush. ● Zone Mover: Move the game zone and force players out of their hiding spots. ● And more: Discover new ways to trick, track, and outplay your opponents. PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS ● Live GPS: Real-time location tracking designed for outdoor multiplayer games. ● Private Lobbies: Create your own game and invite 2 to 100+ players with a Lobby ID. ● Crossplay: Play together regardless of which phone everyone uses. ● No Account Required: Start playing without signing up. ● Privacy First: Your location data is deleted when the match ends. ● No Pay-to-Win: Winning comes down to skill, strategy, stamina, and teamwork.
