STORY OF BOOYAH

The idea of Booyah was originated in 2016 when my friends and I went to Japan for a holiday trip. We did all of the typical fun holiday stuff during the day (sightseeing, eating, exploring etc.) but there wasn't much to do by the end of each day at 1am in our apartments. We did go out most nights and enjoyed the night life of Japan, but on other nights, we would end the day on a high note with a couple games of good old hide and seek.

Immediately, we all agreed that playing with traditional rules became boring and unchallenging, so we spiced the game up with a scary looking horse mask (it's quite terrifying in the dark) and tiny little ringing bells tied to our ankles to make it harder for hiders to move around because it would cause the bell to ring. We all had a blast on the that trip and not until 3 years later when I looked back to the good times we had, I noticed the opportunity to turn the idea into a fun app.

DESCRIPTION

Gather your friends and experience good ol' Hide & Seek on a whole new level!
Simply join a room, start the game, leave your phone in your pocket, and then HAVE FUN!

NOTE: this game is a social game that requires real life interactions with people around you, it is not a single device online multiplayer game.

BOOYAH is here to improve the good ol’ hide and seek game by introducing your phone into the gameplay. Hiders and Seekers carry their phone in their pocket throughout the game, then utilizing the motion sensors in the phone and playing sounds through the speakers, boring old hide and seek suddenly becomes challenging and funny!
