SCRAM: Hide and Seek

SCRAM is hide and seek for the real world. Split into hunters and runners, start the clock, and play across your street, park, campus or campsite, with your phone keeping score. HOW IT WORKS • Runners get a head start to hide. • Every few minutes the hunters get a ping: each runner's location pops up on their map, marked with how long ago it was. • Each team sees its own players live. Between pings the hunters are guessing, and runners never see the hunters at all. • The play zone shrinks as the clock runs down. Stay outside it for 30 seconds and the hunters see you live. Stay out for 2 minutes and you're out. • Tag someone in person and they tap "I got tagged". TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: tagged runners are out and watch the rest of the round live. The hunters try to tag everyone, and any runner still free when time runs out wins. • Infection: every tag switches sides. Tagged runners join the hunters, so the hunt grows as the round goes on. Survive the clock to win. The host picks the mode, and can change it in the lobby. YOU SET THE RULES Start from a preset (Quick, Standard or Big park) or save your own. The host picks the round length, the head start, how often the pings come (or none at all), and the play zone: its size, where it sits, and how often it shrinks. Or switch the zone off and play anywhere. EASY TO JOIN Friends join with the six-character game code, an invite link that opens the game in SCRAM, or the QR code in the lobby. MADE FOR PLAYING OUTSIDE • Alerts reach you with your phone locked: pings, the head start ending, the zone shrinking, and tags. • Radio keeps each team talking without the other team listening. Hunters can hold to talk and send a voice clip to the other hunters. • Put your phone on silent and alerts buzz instead of ring, so they won't give you away. • Dark mode follows your iPhone, for games after sunset. • New to SCRAM? Try a practice round with bots first. AFTER THE ROUND See your trail on the map, how far you moved and how long you lasted, then share your round card to your Story. LEADERBOARDS Every round scores points. Turn on leaderboards to see where you rank in your country and the world, a month at a time. Boards never show where or when you played. YOUR LOCATION, ONLY WHEN IT COUNTS SCRAM shares your location only during a round, and only with the players in your game.
