TRIPWIRE Recon
Mixed-Reality Urban Recon
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Real sensors. Real streets. Real intelligence. Hunt anomalies with your phone's actual BLE, GPS, and motion data. Compete on Game Center leaderboards. Join a faction.
TRIPWIRE Recon transforms your city into an intelligence battlefield where real sensor data meets real-world exploration.
DETECT → HUNT → INTERCEPT → SHARE
Anomalies appear on your map — signal disturbances hidden across your city. Your mission: track them down using your phone's compass, Bluetooth scanner, and GPS. When you're close enough, lock the signal in a precision timing challenge. Share your intercept card to climb the leaderboard.
THREE FACTIONS
Choose your allegiance:
Les Spectres — Stealth and deception. Your tripwires are harder to detect.
The Corsairs — Aggression and territory. Your detection range is wider.
Crescent Order — Intelligence and precision. Your sensor accuracy is enhanced.
REAL SENSOR GAMEPLAY
Your phone isn't just a screen — it's a scanning platform. Bluetooth device density, ambient noise levels, barometric pressure, and GPS accuracy all affect your gameplay. More sensors, better intercepts, higher XP.
SIGNAL LOCK CHALLENGE
When you reach an anomaly, the Signal Lock mini-game tests your timing. Peaks travel around a ring — tap when they align. Common anomalies have wide windows. Phantom-tier anomalies demand millisecond precision.
