⚙️ Advanced settings
⏱️ Match Pacing
Start countdown — 5s
How long everyone has to scatter after you hit Start before the match actually goes live — campfire locations and captures stay hidden until it ends.
Match timer — 15 min
Squatch win if they're still alive when time runs out — without this, a squatch who never approaches a campfire can stall the game forever. Set to 0 for no timer.
Auto-forfeit after inactivity — 90s
If a player stops sending location updates (crashed app, dead phone, closed a testing tool) for this long, they're removed from the match. If that empties a whole team, the other team wins by forfeit — if it empties the match entirely, the game just ends. Set to 0 to turn off.
🎯 Detection & Capture
Catch radius — 15m
How close a hunter must get to auto-capture a squatch, or a squatch must stay to start destroying a campfire.
Detection radius — 60m
How far away players get a pulsing red screen warning that an enemy is nearby — a wider alert zone before catch range kicks in.
Campfire destroy time — 5s
How many seconds a squatch must stay next to a campfire, uninterrupted, before it's destroyed.
When on (default), each team only ever sees their own teammates on the map — finding the other side takes real scouting, not just glancing at a screen. Turn off to make every player's live position visible to everyone, a more casual mode.
Hunter AbilitiesDecoys per hunter — 2
How many fake campfires each hunter can deploy at their current location during the match. Squatch can't tell a decoy from a real campfire.
Decoy duration — 20s
How many seconds a deployed decoy stays on the map before disappearing.
Squatch AbilitiesRoars per squatch — 3
How many times each squatch can roar during the match — reveals their rough location to nearby hunters in exchange for a few seconds of capture immunity.
Play AreaNo play area boundary set — players can play anywhere.
DiscoverabilityWhen on (default), players within about 50m of where you created this game can find it from a "Find nearby games" list, without needing the code — only while it's still in the lobby. Independent of any play area — it uses your location when you created the game, not the play area boundary.
💎 Gems
Total gems on map — 12
A side quest for everyone — anyone on either team can pick one up by walking near it, same range as catch radius. Never affects who wins, just a fun bonus stat. Set to 0 to turn off.
