Downloading the app and joining games is free. Hosting needs a one-time Host Pass. There’s no subscription and no advertising.

Only players in your game, only while a round is running. Your own team sees you live. If you are a runner, hunters see where you were at each ping — not a live feed — unless you stay outside the zone for 30 seconds. Nobody outside the game, including other users, can see it.

Precise positions are deleted when the round ends. Games, chat and results are deleted seven days after the game was created.

Yes, for a personal account. Younger players can only take part at organised events run by an adult with parental permission.

Android 7 and newer at launch. An iPhone version is planned.

The server, not your phone, decides what each player can see and when the round ends. A photo catch only counts if it’s clearly the runner, the runner gets to say “not me”, and the host settles disputes fairly. Tags in person are an honour system — if someone plays unfairly, report them from the results screen.
