## What is Hunting Game?

Hunting Game turns any outdoor space into a live-action chase arena. One player creates a game and shares a join code. Friends join on their phones and split into two teams: hunters and runners.

Hunters get a live map showing runner locations that update on an interval. Runners see a compass pointing toward nearby hunters and must escape, hide, and outmaneuver. The periodic location updates keep every chase dynamic and unpredictable. No special equipment needed — just phones and an outdoor space.

## Game Modes

- **Standard**: Classic hunters vs runners. Hunters chase, runners flee. Runners win as a team if any runner survives until the timer expires.
- **Family**: Adds a Supervisor role who watches all players on a live map. Great for parents playing with children.
- **Hide and Seek** (Pro): Runners hide within a defined zone. Hunters must find them without GPS location updates.

## Tactical Abilities

Players can purchase abilities with coins to add strategy to the chase:

- **Invisible** (runners): Hide your next location update from hunters.
- **Map** (runners): Briefly show all runners a full map with every player's position.
- **Ping** (hunters): Instantly update all runner locations.
- **Fake** (hunters): Send a decoy location to runners for a duration.
- **Blind** (all players): Completely block opponents from seeing any locations.
