Ghost Detector: EMF Camera AR

Hauntscope is a ghost detector game that turns your phone into a paranormal ghost camera. Scan your home with the EMF detector, listen to the Spirit Box and catch ghosts right in your room in augmented reality.

Follow the signals, find where the ghost hides and trap it before your battery dies. Every few catches, the agency issues you a new ghost hunting tool.

Made for Halloween and every night after it: turn off the lights, open the ghost camera and find out what haunts your own home.

HOW THE GHOST DETECTOR WORKS
1. Scan your room and let the ghost detector pick up a signal.
2. Follow the EMF radar and the Spirit Box voices to close in.
3. Find its hiding place with the thermal camera, night vision or UV flashlight.
4. Reveal it with the Ghost Lens and trap it with the Capture Beam.
5. Snap a photo and record an EVP for its case file, like a real ghost hunter.

GHOST HUNTING TOOLS
• EMF detector & ghost radar: the closer the ghost, the faster the meter beeps.
• Spirit Box (ghost box): switch it on and a voice in the static tells you where the ghost is: left, behind you, close. With headphones you hear which side it comes from.
• EVP recorder: record near the ghost and play the tape back: it whispers its own name. The recording goes into its case file.
• Thermal camera: ghosts show up as cold spots on the heat map, even behind furniture.
• Night vision: switch to the green camcorder view and spot a faint shape in the dark without the ghost noticing you.
• UV flashlight: glowing ectoplasm trails and handprints show where the ghost went.
• Ghost Lens: see the ghost with your own eyes, if your battery lasts.
• Capture Beam: hold the ghost in the ring until the trap closes.

A GHOST CAMERA FOR EVIDENCE AND PRANKS
• Spirit camera: snap evidence photos, earn up to three stars for a good shot and share the best ones.
• Ghost prank photos: place any ghost you have caught in your room, move, turn and resize it, take the picture and scare your friends.

12 GHOSTS, 12 WAYS TO HUNT
From the shy Wisp to the legendary Mara who comes for your light, every ghost has its own look, voice and trick. The Poltergeist teleports, the Banshee shrieks and vanishes from your lens, the Mimic fools your EMF detector, the Negative exists only on film, the Lurker moves only when you look away and the Phantom Cat comes close only if you keep still. Every ghost needs its own ghost hunting tactic.

A GHOST STORY ON TAPE
You are the newest agent of the Night Bureau, a quiet service that has caught what lives in ordinary flats since 1987. Your camera belonged to Agent Ida Vale, who vanished on Halloween, the 31st of October, in the middle of a case. Her tapes surface in the archive as your cases grow. There are 12 case files, but 13 numbers.

MORE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
• Bestiary case files: witness reports, tactics and top-secret notes to declassify.
• Night Shift: three ghosts in a row, with perks that stack.
• Agency orders and a daily ration of rewards.
• Witching hour: from 23:00 to 04:00 rare ghosts come out and every catch pays more.
• Lasers and gear from the agency supply depot.
• An original synth soundtrack that builds as you close in on the ghost.

NO AR? HUNT IN A HAUNTED FLAT
If your phone doesn't support ARCore, or you'd rather not use the camera, hunt in the Virtual Room: a haunted, abandoned flat full of hiding spots.

The ghost detector and ghost camera for Halloween night, sleepovers and every ghost hunter who loves a good scare.

Hauntscope is a game for entertainment purposes only. It does not detect real paranormal activity.
