Why play as a team?

When a teammate completes a checkpoint, everyone on the team advances on that hunt and earns the checkpoint points for that step.

Message your team in real time with team chat while you hunt.

Start a voice call with your team when you want to coordinate out loud.

See where teammates are on the map and jump to their last known location.

Share the same trail progress on each adventure and earn team puzzle points when someone finishes a hunt.
