The biggest PouleParty update yet, just in time for our first real-world event. NEW GAMEMASTER ROLE A referee can now join your game without playing. They see the Chicken's live position and every Hunter on a dedicated observer map. The GameMaster can swap the Chicken before the game starts, perfect for big events where you don't want your tech-savvy friend to always be the Chicken. SMARTER ZONE SETUP Pick a size (Small, Medium, Large) instead of fiddling with a slider. Tap Shuffle to reroll the zone's shrinking pattern. Same start point, completely different game. NEW PENALTY MECHANIC The Chicken loses 1 point every 5 seconds outside the zone. Hiding in cover now has a real cost. Sprinting to the edge becomes a tactic. STREAMLINED POWER-UPS Only Zone Preview and Zone Freeze are enabled by default for a cleaner game. The other four can be toggled per party. JUST JOIN Anyone with the game code can join. No more registration gate before the party starts. END-GAME POLISH The map sticks around at the end of the game. Tap the leaderboard CTA when you're ready to see who won. The "Overtime!" label shows up in red when the game runs past its scheduled end. D-DAY 6 JUNE Tickets for our first big in-person event at pouleparty.be. Form your team of 3 to 5 players and come hunt the Chicken through Brussels. Plus dozens of stability and safety fixes: more reliable background tracking when the phone sleeps in your pocket, faster zone updates when many players move at once, the Live Activity now works on every iOS version we support, and a clearer Account Deletion flow in Settings.

Critical fix for Radar Ping in "Stay in the Zone" mode: a stationary Chicken never broadcast its position during an active ping, so Hunters saw nothing. Now a dedicated 5 s timer loop force-broadcasts the Chicken's position while a ping is active, even if the Chicken is standing still. Full audit of all 6 power-ups passed — everything works as expected on both iOS and Android.

Bug fix: user profile migration now runs correctly after update. Your nickname is properly saved to the cloud.

Feel the game with haptic feedback! Vibrations on countdown, power-ups, zone warnings, and more. Screen stays on during gameplay. Power-up markers redesigned with colored icons. Nickname now saved to the cloud.
