A free reflex game for moonlit ghost hunts

Ghost Hunt is a spooky reflex test under a crescent moon. Pale ghosts appear anywhere on the night sky — up to ten at a time — drift around and slowly fade away. Tap them to catch them before they vanish.

Speed pays: a ghost caught right after it appears is worth up to 20 points, while one caught as it fades brings only 10. Mixed in with the ghosts are dark red skulls — about one appearance in five — and tapping one takes 15 points away. The red eyes give them away if you look before you tap.

Missed ghosts cost nothing, so there is never a reason to gamble near a skull. The round lasts exactly 60 seconds, multi-touch works on phones and tablets, and your best score is saved in your browser for the next hunt.

How to play

• Press Hunt! to start the 60-second timer.
• Tap or click a ghost to catch it — fresher ghosts are worth more.
• Leave the dark red skulls alone: each one costs 15 points.
• Use two thumbs on a phone — every finger counts as a tap.
