About this game

Introduction

Gottcha is a mobile game that allows players to enjoy a real-life hide-and-seek experience using GPS technology. It combines technology with outdoor activity, making it a fun way to exercise and spend time with friends.


Beta

Please note that Gottcha is currently in its Beta phase, so there may be bugs. We are constantly adding new features to make the game even more enjoyable. Join our Discord to provide feedback or report bugs—we appreciate your help in creating the best game in the world.


How to Play

The game features two roles: searchers and hiders. The hiders’ goal is to remain hidden from the searchers while staying within the designated play area. The searchers’ goal is to locate the hiders in real life using the app and tag all of them within the game’s time limit.

When a searcher finds a hider, they tag them using the app by clicking "Gottcha." If the hider is within a 20-meter radius of the searcher, they are eliminated from the game, ensuring that the searcher cannot cheat.


Player Limit

The game supports up to 20 players, with a maximum of 2 searchers and 18 hiders.


Game Modes

There are two different game modes:

Shrink

The game area shrinks progressively, requiring hiders to remain active and constantly on the move. The game area shrinks every 5 minutes, and hiders must stay within it to avoid elimination.

Normal

The game area remains the same throughout the entire game.


Game Area

The game creator determines the size of the play area by pressing "-" or "+" to adjust the size before starting the game.


Game Duration

You can choose from six game durations: 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes, and 60 minutes.


Additional Functionality

Ping Interval

This determines how often the hiders' locations are shown to the searchers. You can set this interval between 1 and 10 minutes.


Final Game-Zone Size

This defines the size of the game area at the end (in Shrink mode). There are three options: small, medium, and large.

Ratings and reviews

Bruh, it's very easy to cheat in. One person that played with us was just walking around the area and spamming the gottcha button on all the players, even if he didn't see the people he was gottchaing. Ended up catching over half in this way just by walking around and spamming buttons without even spotting anyone in reality.

The game overall works as intended, the only reason I'm putting 2 stars is because it kicks all Apple users as soon as everyone in the game ready's up, which means only I stay in the game while everyone else gets kicked. plz fix this

It is a good idea, however, it kicks you out the game whenever you close your phone. And you can't join back, which is very annoying, especially since you might have people in a large area playing. I hope they fix this issue and then I would use this again.
