Hideya turns your neighbourhood into a game of hide and seek. Get three or more friends together, pick a meeting spot and play on real streets.
HOW IT WORKS
• The host draws the zone: a meeting spot and an area up to 3 km wide. Everyone plays inside it.
• Runners get a head start while the hunters hold tight.
• Hunters can't see the runners… until the ping. At every ping, each runner shows up on the hunters' map.
• But only where you were. Keep moving after a ping and they're chasing a ghost.
• The zone shrinks as the round goes on. Stay outside it and the hunters see you live.
• Hunters tag every runner, or the runners survive until time runs out.
POWER-UPS
• Ghost: hide from pings until the next zone shrink.
• Decoy: at the next ping, the hunters see you where you choose.
• Shrink now: the next zone shrink happens in 30 seconds.
• Flare: an extra ping right now, every runner lights up.
Use one of each per round, whichever side you play. Walk to power-ups on the map, or sign in to get a free one every day and another for every win.
YOUR GAME, YOUR RULES
• The host sets the round length, pings, head start, zone size and power-ups.
• Chat with your team during the round.
• Round alerts on your lock screen: the start, pings, the zone shrinking, round over.
• Your stats: every metre, win and escape.
• Not ready to go outside? Try a demo round against bots.
Hosting and playing are always free. Power-up packs and Hideya Plus (2 daily power-ups instead of 1) are optional.
YOUR LOCATION
Your location is shared only with your game, and only during a round you've joined. Your team sees you live, hunters see runners only at pings, and runners never see hunters. During a round it keeps updating while your phone is locked, so you stay in the game, and it stops when the round ends. No ads.
Play safe: watch out for traffic and play in public places. Players under 16 should play with a parent's or guardian's permission.
