About Ghost Hunt
Ghost Hunt is a spooky reflex test under a crescent moon. Pale ghosts appear, drift around and slowly fade away. Tap them while they're still bright for the most points — and don't touch the red skulls.
How to play Ghost Hunt
- Press Hunt! to start the 60-second timer (the purple bar at the bottom).
- Ghosts appear anywhere on the night sky, up to ten at a time. Each one fades out within a few seconds.
- Tap or click a ghost to catch it. The fresher it is, the more it's worth.
- Dark red skulls are traps: tapping one takes points away.
- The Missed counter shows ghosts that faded before you caught them.
Scoring
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Ghost caught right after appearing | up to +20 |
| Ghost caught as it fades | +10 |
| Skull tapped | −15 |
Tips for a higher score
- Tap new ghosts first — they're worth nearly double the fading ones.
- About one in five appearances is a skull; the red eyes give them away.
- Missed ghosts don't cost points, so never gamble on a tap near a skull.
- On a phone, use two thumbs — every finger on the screen counts as a tap.
