Description

Hide a magnet, then chase it down with the magnetometer in your phone.

Magnet Hunt is a hide and seek game for magnets. Your phone has a magnetometer, the sensor its compass uses, and Magnet Hunt turns it into a hot and cold meter. One player looks away while everyone else hides a magnet. The seeker sweeps the phone around the room and follows the heat, the clicks and the buzz until they are right on top of it. How a round works 1. The seeker closes their eyes while the others hide a magnet before the timer runs out. 2. Hand the phone over. The seeker taps Ready to set a baseline for the room. 3. Sweep the phone around. The meter goes from Cold to Very hot, the clicks speed up and the phone buzzes faster as you get closer. 4. Tap Found it. Points for finding it, plus a bonus for every second left. Scores carry on round after round. What you get free - Classic Chase for 2 players, with as many rounds as you like - Hot and cold meter, clicks and vibration that follow the field - Test your magnet: see how far away your magnet shows up before you hide it - Live field view with glowing field lines, field strength in microtesla and the change from your baseline - Best times saved on the phone - Works offline, no account Magnet Hunt Pro, a one time unlock - Up to 8 players - Timed Blitz: quick hide, 45 second seek, double points - Blindfold: the screen goes dark, so you hunt by sound and buzz alone - Triple Hide: hide three magnets and score for each one found - Field graph of the last 30 seconds, a field direction needle and XYZ axes - Three more hunt sounds: Sonar ping, Rising tone and Retro bleep - Four more looks: Aurora Field, Ember Core, Crystal Lattice and Midnight Forge Good to know Use a magnet. Small round fridge magnets usually show up from about 10 to 25 cm away and strong neodymium magnets from further. Keys, spoons and flat advert magnets only register within a few cm. Magnet Hunt senses magnets and steel close to the phone. It is not a metal detector and it cannot find gold, coins or anything buried. A few phones have no magnetometer; the app tells you if yours is one of them. Pricing Free to play. Pro is a single payment. No subscription.
