PicChase questions and answers

PicChase is a real-world multiplayer photo scavenger hunt app. A host creates a game, shares a six-character game code, and participants photograph items or themes in Race, Timed, or Collection mode.

PicChase is free to download, and no payment is required to start. Six free packs are included, custom lists are free, and groups of up to four player entries can play as many games as they like. Optional one-time purchases unlock individual packs or Premium features.

Premium is a one-time purchase that you keep permanently. It unlocks every challenge pack and unlimited player entries. Packs can also be purchased one by one. Current local prices are shown in the App Store and Google Play.

No. Players install the app and join each game with a display name and its game code.

A free game supports up to four player entries with no limit on the number of games. Premium unlocks unlimited player entries. Larger groups can also form teams and use one phone per team.

Each player entry needs PicChase on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device. A group can register as one team and share one phone, so a class of 20 might compete as four teams using four phones. The website is for information and support, not gameplay.

PicChase is available in English, Spanish, German, French, and Latvian. Custom text remains in the language written by the host.

Race is won by the first player or team to complete the list. Timed compares progress when the countdown ends. Collection is non-competitive and builds a personal color or theme gallery.

Yes. Creating a custom list for a game is currently free for everyone. You may also customize every ready-made pack, including removing prompts that do not fit the location. Saving a named custom list for reuse is a Premium convenience. Some hosts ask ChatGPT for prompt ideas, then review them for the real group and setting.

Internet is required to start and finish a game and to synchronize photos, progress, and state in real time. A brief interruption should not be a problem: data should synchronize when the connection returns.

People who know the game code and join that game can view its submitted photos. The photos are not published as a public website gallery, but hosts should still share codes carefully and get consent before photographing people.

Yes. A player can delete an individual photo they submitted while the game is active.

Cancelled games are deleted automatically after a few hours. Finished free games are deleted after 24 hours, and finished Premium games after 14 days.

It can be used as a host-organized, supervised activity. Teachers should follow school policies and guardian-consent requirements, define boundaries, and prefer prompts that avoid faces and private information. Children should play with suitable adult supervision and guardian consent.

Avoid strangers without consent, private property, sensitive documents, screens with personal information, unsafe or prohibited areas, and inappropriate content. Never use the phone while driving.
