Description
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.

Comments on Gottcha - IRL Hide and Seek for Android
★★★★★
Need more options like being able to change the ping times when players are revealed and how long game is. Overall very good game would love more players being able to join but great game.
★★★★★
Great game🎮. It's very easy to use. I played it with my friends, and we had so much fun🎉. I totally recommend downloading it.
★★★★★
Would be cool to add the option for the hiders to join the searcher, once they've been found.
★★★★★
Needs some development, like adjustable radius, or shrinking time, but I love this, and the game is very, very good. This game is very nice, hope the best for the developers.
★★☆☆☆
Won't opens on my phone keeps saying won't open
★★☆☆☆
Bruh, it's very easy to cheat in. One person that played with us was just walking around the area and spamming the gotcha 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 that it kicks all Apple users as soon as everyone in the game readies 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.
