Questions for this setup
What is PicChase?
PicChase is a real-world multiplayer photo scavenger hunt app. A host creates a game, shares a six-character game code, and participants photograph real-world subjects in Race, Timed, or Color hunting.
Is PicChase free?
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.
What does Premium include?
Premium is a one-time purchase that you keep permanently — never a subscription. It unlocks every challenge pack, unlimited player entries, downloads of every player's photos, saved custom lists, a shareable password-protected web gallery, and 14-day photo and history storage instead of 24 hours. Everyone can download their own photos without Premium. Packs can also be purchased one by one. Current local prices are shown in the App Store and Google Play.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Players install the app and join each game with a display name and its game code.
How many people can play?
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.
Available on iPhone, iPad, and Android.
