ShadowTag

ShadowTag is a real-world multiplayer tag game played on your phone using proximity detection. Inspired by Among Us, players move in the physical world while trying to identify and avoid the hidden "It" — without ever knowing who it is. Think of it as sneaky tag with suspense and strategy!

📱 How It Works

  • Each player connects using their phone.
  • One player is secretly chosen as “It.”
  • Phones use proximity detection (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/ultrasound) to determine who's nearby.
  • “It” must tag others without being caught.
  • Tagged players are notified silently and become “It.”
  • Game continues until a timer ends or all players are tagged.

🎯 Features

  • Hidden roles (you never know who is "It")
  • Real-world movement, no GPS needed
  • Bluetooth-based proximity detection
  • Cross-platform (works on modern mobile browsers)
  • Minimal UI for immersion

Prerequisites

  • Modern smartphone with Bluetooth enabled
