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. ● Bomb Tag: Hot potato with a ticking bomb. Tag another player to pass it on before the fuse runs out, or you’re out. The last player standing wins. ● 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

Something's hidden near you right now. Can you find it? GetStashd is a location-based, social cache-hunting game where real people hide real containers - and other real people hunt them down. Think geocaching, rebuilt for the smartphone era: live GPS maps, photo clues, XP rewards, offline play, and a community building a richer map one hidden box at a time. HUNT. FIND. GET STASHD. Browse the live map for stashes hidden near you. Tap a pin to preview the clue, navigate to the drop point, and confirm your find with the code written inside the container. Every find is logged with your photo and comment — a permanent record in the stash's logbook. Live map with stash pins, difficulty ratings and clue previews Navigate by GPS to the exact drop point Confirm finds with the physical stash code — no cheating, no spoofing Log your find with a photo(s) and a message for the next hunter Weekly XP streaks reward consistency with bonus multipliers First to find a new stash? Bonus XP and first-finder honours DROP YOUR OWN STASH. Got a spot worth finding? Set your drop point on the map, write a clue, photograph the hiding place, and choose the difficulty. Other players hunt it down and you earn XP every time they do. Precision GPS placement with automatic separation rules Clue photo, difficulty 1–5, and a name: make it devious or family-friendly Live logbook shows every finder, their photo, and their message BUILT FOR GEOCACHERS. OPEN TO EVERYONE. If you're already a geocacher, you'll find plenty familiar - and a few things done differently. GPX import, offline map downloads, physical stash codes, and difficulty 1–5 mean serious navigators and first-time explorers share the same map comfortably. GPX import - load waypoints from any GPS device or geocaching export Offline maps - download regions over Wi-Fi, hunt without signal Stash codes - physical verification where possible Difficulty 1–5 - accessible to all ages, abilities and ambitions SOCIALS Add fellow stashers to your friends list, use the in-app messaging to discuss your next move! Add reactions and likes to logbook entries. And more features to come! DRIFTERS Drifters are tagged keepsakes that travel between stashes. Buy a code, register it and drop it in today. Follow every pick-up, drop and leg of the journey on a live map. XP, STREAKS & THE LEADERBOARD. Finding stashes earns XP. Drops earn XP, forever. Weekly streaks earns XP bonuses. First to find a new stash? Big XP. It all builds on the leaderboard - a live record visible to the community you're helping build. OFFLINE. Download a region's map tiles over Wi-Fi before you leave. On the trail, the map, pins, clue photos, and find flow all work without signal. Finds queue offline and sync the moment you reconnect. Dropping a stash can also be done offline too. BUILDING SOMETHING TOGETHER. GetStashd is an indie app made by a very small team. The more stashes people drop, the richer the map gets for everyone - families on a walk, solo explorers, seasoned navigators, dog walkers who fancy a mission. That's the whole idea. It will take time to build but with active users and those willing to import their existing stashes (which co-exist alongside other platforms) we will get there! FREE TO PLAY. HONEST ABOUT THE COST. The core of GetStashd is genuinely free. Hunt stashes, drop your own, earn XP, climb the leaderboard - no paywall, no nag screens. Explorer and Pro tiers unlock a wider discovery radius, more active stashes/drifters, and a larger photo logbook vs the Free tier. We're upfront about why: offline maps, photo storage, and logbook data are billed by cloud providers per request and per gigabyte. Subscriptions cover that infrastructure honestly, with a small margin for running and improving the app. No ads. No data sold. Just fair pricing for a service with real running costs.
