The Spirit Radar: an unknown ghost 22 metres to the north, close enough to hunt

How a hunt goes

Outside, the radar leads the way

  1. The Spirit Radar, a brass gadget like a big pocket compass

    Follow the radar

    The Spirit Radar shows which way to walk and how close the nearest ghost is. No map, just the hunt.

  2. Jitter, a round, fluffy ghost

    Hunt within 30 metres

    Get close and tap Hunt. The camera reveals the ghost, floating around you where you stand.

  3. The Spook-Vac, a brass ghost vacuum with a glowing glass chamber

    Hold the beam

    Keep your Spook-Vac on the ghost while it dodges, hops and hides, and pull it in before it slips away.

Twenty ghosts, common to legendary

You'll know them when you catch them

Every ghost stays a shadow until you've caught one, and each kind comes in rarer shades. Here are a few you might meet first.

  • Common

    Drifter

    Wanders slowly and eases away from the beam. A steady hand catches it.

  • Common

    ???

  • Uncommon

    Jitter

    Hovers almost still, then dashes off in a blink. Chase it with the beam.

  • Uncommon

    ???

    Not caught yet.

  • Rare

    Shy

    Backs away from the beam and creeps back when you let go. Follow it gently.

The Spirit Pouch: three ghosts caught, the rest still outlines

Collect them in your Spirit Pouch

Every catch fills your Spirit Pouch and earns points. Turn each ghost you've caught in 3D, hear its call, and see the outlines of the ones still out there.

Every catch also gives XP: rise from Novice to Legend, and your Spook-Vac gets more suction, more battery and new colours.

Brass, glass and a little glow

Your kit

Allhallow, a legendary ghost with a jack-o'-lantern head

October 31

Halloween Night

From early evening until late at night where you are: twice as many ghosts, double points, and Allhallow, a legendary ghost that only comes out on Halloween Night.

The Halloween board ranks the night's top scores.

Fair and private

  • No ads and no ad tracking.
  • Your exact position never leaves your phone.
  • Climb the global board and your country's. The daily points limit is the same for everyone, so money can't buy rank.
  • Free to play, with optional in-app purchases. Each catch attempt uses a battery charge, and charges come back over time.

Play safely

Hunt with friends and family, stay in public places, respect private property, look up from your screen, and never play while driving or cycling.

Needs location and camera access, and a phone that supports augmented reality. Best played outdoors.
