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. From classic Hide & Seek to GPS manhunts, zombie infections, Assassin matches, and more, HideZone gives you a whole collection of real-life games to play with friends. Grab your friends, head outside, and let the hunt begin. Terms of Use: https://dramiley.dev/terms_detailed.html?platform=ios
