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.

Grab your friends, head outside, and let the hunt begin. Terms of Use: https://dramiley.dev/terms_detailed.html?platform=ios

About

Run Catch Repeat

Read full description

Reach destinations. Get chased. Complete tasks. Use abilities. Experience a new kind of multiplayer game with Run, Catch, Repeat in your real-world environment – dynamic, tactical, and thrilling. Whether with friends or against strangers: Who will escape? Who will catch? Who will win? How Run, Catch, Repeat Works 1. Preparation – The Lobby Phase A minimum of two players is enough – all you need is a smartphone and the urge to move. One player creates a lobby and selects: A destination deck with real-world locations. A task deck with exciting challenges. An ability deck: Play with tactical advantages and sneaky tricks! The ability distribution mode: Random or via the strategic pick phase. The GPS interval: Decide how often locations are shared. Other players join using a lobby code and choose their role: Runner or Catcher. As soon as everyone is ready, the game begins. 2. Game Start – The Hunt Begins The Runner gets three random destinations – A, B, and C – and starts with 3 coins. The Catchers have nothing… except ambition. Now it’s time to move smartly, reach destinations, complete tasks, and avoid getting caught. 3. Gameplay – Live Through the City Reaching destinations: The Runner must take proof photos and complete one task per destination. The Chase: The Catchers receive the Runner's last known location (with a 10-minute delay by default). Conversely, the Runner gets the Catchers' last position every 60 minutes. Tasks: Both teams can voluntarily draw tasks to earn coins. Abilities: Coins can be exchanged for special abilities – e.g., "Live Location", "No Transport", "Trail Tower", and many more. Transport: Getting on a bus, train, or bike must be reported – for fairness and strategic depth. 4. Final Phase – All or Nothing Once the Runner reaches the final destination, the showdown begins: Live locations are revealed. The Runner must complete one final task. The Catcher has to catch them RIGHT NOW. First to complete their goal takes the win. Daily Puzzles – For quick breaks & offline play Play against the AI – without GPS and in quick rounds. Solve tactical puzzles, use abilities wisely, and earn XP & coins. Perfect for on the go! Rewards & Progression XP & Leveling: Level up, improve your profile, and compete on the leaderboard.
