Hidewild

Pre-launch · iPhone beta

Real streets.
Real sprints.
Nowhere to hide.

Hidewild turns a park, a campus or a few blocks into an arena. One person draws the zone, everyone joins with a tap, and then you actually run — because the zone keeps closing in.

Wilder, the Hidewild chameleon
A Hidewild match on iPhone: the player is a hider with 1:52 left, the zone has shrunk around them, a ping has just revealed everyone, and the nearest seeker is 43 metres away.

How a match runs

Four things happen, in this order

No equipment, no setup, no sign-up forms for your friends. One tap puts everyone in the same zone.

Step 01

Draw the zone

Drop a circle over a park, a campus or a few blocks. Everyone sees the same map and the same clock.

Step 02

Hide

Hiders get three minutes. Seekers stare at a blacked-out screen and count down. Then it's on.

Step 03

The zone closes

Every few minutes the circle shrinks toward a smaller one you can already see. Standing still stops working.

Step 04

Get tagged, or don't

A ping shows the seekers where everyone is. Get close and hold for a second to tag. Both phones buzz.

Modes

Same park, five different games

Collapse

Signature
4–20 players

The zone closes in. Move or get caught.

Hide & Seek


3–20 players

The classic, played across a whole park.

Infection


5–20 players

One seeker. Every tag makes another.

Radar


3–12 players

No map. Just a signal. Phone in pocket.

Fox Hunt


3–20 players

One fox. Everyone else hunts.

Beta

Cities unlock at ten squads

Hidewild only works with people in the same place, so we're letting it in one city at a time. Put your squad on the list. When a city reaches ten squads, everyone in it gets a TestFlight invite that week.

Nobody has signed up yet — your squad can be the first in your city.

  • ✓Founding Runner. A colourway and visor that is never sold or earned again.
  • ✓Three months of Club at launch, free. Your whole lobby gets the host bonus.
  • ✓Your squad name in the credits, and new modes a week before anyone else.
  • ✓A say in it. Testers name an award, a zone skin and at least one mode.

Add your squad

One entry per group. The captain gets the invites.

We only use this to send beta invites. No newsletter, no sharing it on.

Playing outside

Built to keep it sensible

Anyone can stop it

One tap pauses the match for everybody, with a reason. No host approval needed.

Zones know the map

Drawing a zone warns you about major roads, water and railways. After sunset you get a daylight reminder.

Nothing is sold that wins

Everything you can buy is a look. Fitness, cunning and local knowledge decide matches.

Sessions we host are 18+

Younger players are welcome in the app with their own friends, not at meetups with strangers.
