Starting a game
Pick a plan on the site and check out — the game is created automatically, no waiting. Want a taste first? There's a free demo.
After your purchase you get three links (also by email): your own control link for the organisation, and a team link for the hunters and for the foxes. Open your control link on your phone — everything you configure lives under the Control tab. Walk through these steps:
Setting up the game
The setup checklist in the app walks you through the same steps — this is the order:
- Name your teams. Under Control → Game & teams you name the two teams however you like (for example the bride's name and the groom-to-be).
- Set the duration & limits. Under Settings you decide how long the game runs, the foxes' head start, how often teams share their location, and the joker limits. Match the duration to your playing area — a neighbourhood on foot needs less time than a whole region by car.
- Review the rules & jokers. Under the Rules tab you'll find the per-team explanation; adjust the text and the joker challenges to fit your party if you like.
- Share the team links. Under Control → Share the links you copy each team link and send it to that team (via WhatsApp, for example). On plans with PDF export you can download the rules per team as a PDF with QR code to hand out. Everyone in a team may open the same link on their own phone.
- Start the game. Ready for kick-off? Press Start now under Game control, or schedule an automatic start time. The clock then runs for both teams.
You can play along in a team yourself. Note: one browser remembers one link at a time — opening another magic link replaces the active role. To use the control link and a team role at the same time, use separate devices, or a separate browser profile or incognito window.

Customising content
The per-team rules text is editable (with placeholders like {{speelduur}} that follow
your settings live), and every joker challenge can be rewritten. Pick a themed pack during setup
and all jokers get challenges to match the occasion. These are the official packs:
- Officiële NL-set — De originele Uitvossen-jokerset — geschikt voor elk spel.
- Bachelor party — A fast, fanatical hunt on foot through the city centre, with the bride or groom as the shining centrepiece.
- Team building — A long, relaxed hunt by car across a whole region: working together with colleagues, without the stress.
- Group of friends — A city adventure by bike full of dares and silliness — just for fun with your friends.
- Family — A short, cosy hunt around your own neighbourhood. Doable for young and old, nothing scary.
- Gezin in de wijk — Dit pack is geschikt om met gezin(nen) in je eigen wijk te spelen met kids tot 10 jaar.
During the game
As the organisation you are the referee: you start, pause and stop the clock (or schedule an automatic start), approve or reject evidence when the teams can't agree, reveal or hide the hunters' location, undo an accidentally confirmed catch, and settle an undecided result. It all happens from the Control tab; the log records every event.
Privacy
Photos and videos are only used during the game and the recap and wiped automatically afterwards; photos are stripped of GPS data on upload. Location pings are snapshots — there is no live tracking. Everything runs on servers in the EU. See also the privacy statement.
