LOST turns your city into the play area and every other player into part of the game. HOW IT WORKS When a tournament starts, you're assigned a single target somewhere inside the play area. Track them down using real-time GPS. When you get close enough, raise your phone and confirm the elimination through the AR camera. The moment you eliminate your target, you inherit theirs. The chain contracts with every elimination. The last competitor standing wins. This is a real-world game. You move, you navigate, you read the map, and you make your move at the right moment. There's no rolling dice and no luck button — outcomes come down to how you play. TOURNAMENT TYPES Choose your format, all free and points-based: - Last One Standing — the final competitor takes the full points prize - Podium — points awarded by elimination count, with a bonus for the Last One Standing - Bounty — earn points for every elimination you confirm - Podium + Bounty — a hybrid of placement points and per-elimination points PLAYS IN THE REAL WORLD - AR camera confirmation for every elimination - Live GPS tracking that turns your neighborhood into the field - Tournaments run 24/7 — find a competition and enter any time - Shrinking play areas that drive every tournament to a natural finish - Safe zones around schools, hospitals, places of worship, and your own home base BUILT FOR FAIR PLAY LOST is a skill-based competition. A health meter keeps the game active and honest, anti-cheat systems protect the field, and the AR interface automatically disables above 25 mph so nobody plays while driving. Play smart, play safe, and respect the people and places around you. FREE TO PLAY Every tournament in this release is free to enter and rewards points — points have no cash value and aren't redeemable for money. Compete, climb the leaderboard, and prove you can outplay everyone else on the map. Track your target. Eliminate them in AR. Inherit the next. Be the Last One Standing.

Phones, watches, earbuds and beacons around you broadcast Bluetooth Low Energy signals. Wardrive Go logs them and plots each one on a live radar -- the closer a device, the closer it sits to the center. THE HUNT - A live radar sweep that maps every BLE device around you in real time - Color-coded contacts: Apple gear, named devices, and unknowns - Tap any blip for a full readout: signal strength, proximity, TX power, raw service UUIDs, how many times you've seen it, and more - Sort by signal, recency, frequency, or name; filter ALL / WI-FI / BLE - A live trip banner: new networks, in range, pace, distance, open networks, speed ADD WI-FI WITH WARDRIVEESP BOARDS OR A BISCUIT - Link an inexpensive ESP32 board running the free WardriveESP firmware (rocketgod.dev/WardriveESP) and Wardrive Go connects to it automatically, no pairing - Biscuit wardrivers (Ultra and Crumb) link by themselves too: their Wi-Fi and Bluetooth finds join your run - Run several boards at once: they split the Wi-Fi channels between them, and boards with 5 GHz cover 5 GHz - Turn one board into a Bluetooth scanner: it sees the real device addresses iOS keeps from apps, so those devices count when you upload - Update a board's firmware over Bluetooth with one tap - Wi-Fi access points stream into the same list as Bluetooth, with band, channel and security - Every run is logged as one WiGLE-compatible file with real GPS coordinates - A built-in console shows what your boards are doing UPLOAD AND CLIMB THE BOARDS - Add your WiGLE, WDGWars and/or Wardrift API key -- one tap uploads your run to every service you set up, and nothing is sent until you tap - WiGLE and WDGWars leaderboards and your upload history, right in the app - Game Center leaderboards for Lifetime Contacts and your Best Single Run, with achievements from your First Contact all the way to ten million KNOW WHAT'S AROUND YOU - Trackers (AirTag / Find My, Tile, SmartTag, Chipolo), cameras, body cams, drones, smart glasses, hidden-camera setup networks and other notable devices are named on sight, called out with a banner, and collected in their own list THE FIELD REPORT - A breakdown of everything you've ever logged - Drill into any category by maker, then tap any device for its complete detail - Export your current run to CSV, free 17 THEMES, ALL FREE Teal, Amber, Sonar Blue, Crimson, Toxic, Plasma, WiGLE, WDGWars, The Pirates' Plunder, WiGhoul, BBS, Pro, Pwnagotchi, DOOM, Pac-Man, Slate and Clarity. WARDRIVE GO PRO Everything above is free. A single unlock (no subscription) adds one thing: - Export your full history to CSV -- every device you've ever logged, with maker, type, best signal, services, and first and last seen PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything Wardrive Go hears is read and stored on your own device. Your numeric leaderboard score goes to Game Center; nothing else leaves your phone unless you add an API key and tap UPLOAD -- then only the run you chose goes to the services you picked. The phone's own radar sees only the randomized Bluetooth IDs iOS provides, so nothing there points to a person. Wardrive Go only reads the public advertisements devices already broadcast; the only things it ever connects to are your own WardriveESP boards and Biscuits. Note: "contacts" are signals logged, not unique devices -- phones rotate their Bluetooth ID for privacy, so the same one is often counted more than once. Requires Bluetooth. Location is used to tag your log with coordinates.
