- Friends organizing an outdoor neighborhood game
- Worth noticing
- Hunters receive location snapshots rather than live runner tracking; the host can set pings from every 1 to 30 minutes.
Field notes
The host sets a play zone by moving a map and can choose a round from 10 minutes to 3 hours. Players join by code, and Random fills whichever team is short; the game will not start with lopsided teams. The page says hunters receive location snapshots, while runners never see hunters, and an optional shrinking zone can expose runners who stay outside its edge for more than 30 seconds.
