Fang X Manual¶
Fang X is a GPS chase game for the outdoors. One person is X and tries to escape. Everyone else plays as a detective and regularly gets hints about X's location. Whoever reaches X within the catch radius wins.
This manual explains how to set up a game, all the settings, and what to keep in mind when playing outdoors.
Quick start¶
- One person creates a game and shares the six-character game code.
- Everyone joins and picks a role: X or detective.
- The host sets the duration, head start, reveals and catch rule.
- Start the game, allow location access – X runs off, the detectives search.

Playing safely¶
Look out for each other
Only play in safe, public places and respect other people's privacy. Watch out for traffic, stay reachable, and agree on a meeting point for the end before you start. If someone cannot or does not want to continue playing, there is the emergency button.
No account, no location history¶
Fang X does not need user accounts. Locations are only transmitted during a running round; routes are not stored. The chat is discarded when the game ends. You can find more in the app's legal notice and privacy policy.
