Gadget collection and use
Gadgets are power-ups that let you disrupt rival teams. This flow covers the full journey: how you get them, how you send them, and what they do.
How you earn gadgets
Section titled “How you earn gadgets”There are three ways to get gadgets during an event:
1. Challenge rewards
Section titled “1. Challenge rewards”Some challenges are configured to award a gadget when you complete them. After you finish the challenge, the gadget appears in your inventory automatically.
You don’t get to choose which gadget — the organizer decides what reward each challenge gives.
2. Walking distance
Section titled “2. Walking distance”The organizer can set a GPS distance threshold. Walk that distance during the event and you earn a gadget. The app tracks your movement in the background.
3. AR pickup
Section titled “3. AR pickup”In some events, 3D gadget models are placed in AR space. Point your camera at the right area to find them, then tap to pick them up. You have 60 seconds to collect each one before it disappears.
How to send a gadget
Section titled “How to send a gadget”- Open the Gadgets tab from the navigation bar
- You’ll see your available gadgets with icons and quantities
- Tap the gadget you want to use
- A list of all teams in the event appears — tap the team you want to target
- Confirm the send
The effect appears on the target team’s screens immediately. Your quantity for that gadget decreases by one.
What each gadget does
Section titled “What each gadget does”| Gadget | Effect on target team |
|---|---|
| Bomb | Fire explosion covers their screen |
| Drunk Screen | The screen goes blurry and distorted |
| X-Ray | Defensive gadget — shows you the positions of all rival teams on the map |
| Scaring Ghost | Sudden startling visual and sound |
| Fart | Sound effect and visual particles |
| Love | Hearts rain across their screen |
| Fireworks | Fireworks burst on screen |
| Broken Screen | Their screen appears cracked |
| Inverted Screen | Their entire screen flips upside down |
| Lock Screen | Their screen is frozen — they can’t interact |
Most effects are visual distractions that last a few seconds. Lock Screen is the most disruptive — it prevents the target from using their phone entirely while active.
X-Ray is unique: instead of hurting a rival, it gives your team intelligence by revealing rival positions on the map.
Tips for maximum impact
Section titled “Tips for maximum impact”- Send Lock Screen during a timed challenge. The target team can’t interact with their screen, eating into their timer.
- Use Bomb or Scaring Ghost for distraction. Loud effects and sudden visuals break concentration during puzzles or questions.
- Save X-Ray for the endgame. Knowing where rivals are is most valuable when the race is tight.
- Don’t waste gadgets early. They have limited stock. Use them when the stakes are highest.
- Coordinate with your team. If two of you have gadgets, hit the leading team simultaneously for maximum disruption.
What happens to collectible items?
Section titled “What happens to collectible items?”Not everything in your inventory is a gadget. Organizers can also place collectible items — objects you gather by completing challenges or finding them on the map. These don’t attack anyone. Instead, some challenges require specific items to activate.
If a challenge won’t activate and says you’re missing an item, check your inventory. You need to find and collect that item first before the challenge opens.
