Your city is the board.Don't get caught.
Runners get a head start. Chasers get their location every few minutes. MostHunted runs the clock, the map and the rules, so you can just play.
Everyone starts wanted. Not everyone stays free.
Every runner team gets a poster. When a chaser enters their secret code, the stamp comes down for everyone to see.
Everything the game needs, handled for you
Timed location reveals
Chasers see every runner team on the map for a short window, then the map goes dark again.
Distance alerts
Runners get a regular alert with how far the others are, so nobody feels safe for long.
Game area
Draw the boundary on a map. A team that leaves it is exposed to the chasers.
Transport timer
Hop on a bus or tram and the ride clock starts. Stay too long and everyone knows.
One tap to catch
A chaser touches a runner, taps Caught, and the whole team is out for everybody.
Your rules
Every number is a setting: game length, head start, reveal timing, penalties, vehicles.

Questions people ask
What is MostHunted?
A real-life chase game played in your city. Runner teams get a head start and try to stay free; chasers see where they are on a timer and catch them by touch. The app runs the clock, the map and the rules.
How many players do you need?
At least four: one chaser and a few runners. It is at its best with six to twelve players, split into two or three chasers and several runner teams.
Do players have to pay?
No. Players always join free with a code. Organizers will pay once for lifetime access. Right now MostHunted is in a closed test and creating games is by invitation.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It runs in any phone browser today. The phone app, which keeps tracking with the phone in your pocket, is on the way, iPhone first.
Is my location shared all the time?
No. Your location is only used while a game you joined is running, and other players only see it when the rules of that game allow it, for example during a reveal.
Can we change the rules?
Every rule has its own switch and its own numbers: game length, head start, reveal timing, the game area, transport limits and more. You can save your own rule sets too.
