AR ExperienceĪs I mentioned before, the game’s level is quite large and you I didn’t find any way to resize the map. There is also an “Unlimited Battery Level” purchase option, but who wants to do this. If you want to play more, you need to buy the “Two Player Mode” from the cart menu. The two-player game mode is also very limited and allows only 5 turns to be played. You need to buy the “Unlock All Objects” in the cart menu. The single-player mode is limited to certain amount of objects.

I think it’s worth mentioning that although the game is free to play, it poses some limitations that you should be aware of.
The developer just needs to synchronize the location of the city over the web between the two sessions. I think this can actually be a good idea enabling the multiplayer mode work locally on two devices. There is no time limit for finding the object.įurthermore, the two-player game mode was designed to be played with the same device, you can’t play it locally with two separate devices like with two iPhones. Once the other guy finds the object, the game resets and you start the same session all over again. There isn’t any rewarding system though for some reason. One guy needs to hide an object anywhere in the scene and the other player needs to locate it. A large and detailed 3D city as you can see, no get close and try to find the hidden object. If it’s depleted, you need to wait for it to charge up to start using it again. Once you press it and start using it, there is a meter that goes down. It’s worth mentioning that you can’t use the proximity sensor constantly for a long period of time. If you are playing two people, you know if someone is using the proximity sensor because it makes quite an annoying voice. Let’s take a look at a gameplay video to give you a sense how this game plays in practice. For example, I would put the option to disable or enable the flashing object option and offer the user to disable the proximity sensor.
I think that developer should add a section in the settings to enable or disable certain features. By the way, the object will be flashing on the map so you can recognize it once you see it. I don’t think this feature break the game or anything, it just makes it easier and you can always decide not to use it, it’s up to you. It beeps faster the closer you get to the object. The proximity sensor is a helper feature. With the proximity sensor, it’s easier to locate the object. I first tried it without the proximity sensor’s help. In the first tries, it took me sometimes like 2 to 3 minutes to find an object. Once you find it, it asks you to find the next object and so on.The objects appear very small on the map and because the map is very detailed and big, it’s hard to locate the object. In the single-player mode, the game hides an object somewhere in the city and let you look for it. The map stays the same, it’s just its size changes.Ĭan you find where the object is located? It took me some time to find this one and it was just sitting there in the parking lot the whole time, sneaky 🙂 You can play it in three different sizes depends on the space that you have. The developer created a large and very detailed 3D city.

How to Play AR Hide and Seek?ĪR Hide and Seek Virtual City tackles this in another way, a more simple and less challenging way. I saw a demonstration how this can be achieved in Tango, but ARKit doesn’t employ the same sophisticated depth-sensing sensors that Tango has. Even with Google Tango, there is no sampling of the behind area unless the entire area side is scanned. Even then, ARKit can only detect flat surfaces, so I can it hides something behind another thing. The thing is that you have to scan the entire area first. Even better, have a character running around the place to find a hiding spot. A second idea was that it can be designed for a single player and the game hides objects in your house. I knew it can be a great 2-player (or more) game where one person hides something and the other player need to find it. When I first heard about AR this idea popped out and I wonder how developers will actually be able to create such game. It’s an AR hide n’ seek game called AR Hide and Seek Virtual City. Yesterday I came across a really nice game that I want to share with you.
