Hint

Player search is automatically launched when you accept the required permissions. If you enable your search notifications, you will get advised when other people are playing in your very area. However, to prevent overcrowding you with notifications every time you come across somebody (for example, in metro or bus) we will only advise you about those persons that stay next to you for at least 5 minutes. Anyway, you'll always be able yo see them in your search screen. Take a look to it from time to time to see the most recent people that are right where you are.

Remember that, as a rule of thumb, it is likely that you'll find players in social places such as coffee shops, bars, parks, metro lines or pubs. If you find yourself in the middle of a beautiful forest, it's less probable that you'll find someone to play with – In that case, feel the silence and enjoy the moment's peace.

No. Your location is private and your GPS coordinates are not shared with the other players. The location permission is required to be able to find people that are really a few meters far from you. We will never use nor store your location without your consent.

Remember that we cannot control the usage that other apps may make of your location while it is enabled. Hence, we recommend you to turn it off while you don't need it anymore. If you want to know more details, you can read our privacy policy to make your mind more clear on these topics.

Encontrar personas cercanas en tiempo real es emocionante y divertido, pero puede llevar tiempo a veces. Para ello es necesario que haya un buen número de personas en tu zona, y con suerte, algunas de ellas jugando a Hint mientras tú estás ahí. Por eso, una cafetería, un transporte público o una biblioteca son estupendos ejemplos de lugares donde conocer gente.

To better understand how this all works, imagine yourself as the center of a big circle. When a player is next to you -within your circle- you can see them and invite them to play. If that person moves away from you and leaves your coverage area, the connection is lost and you won't be able to see them. But don't despair while searching; just take it easy and the players will come to you sooner or later.

You can invite anybody to play by just tapping over them. If they accept your invitation, the game will automatically start. Remember that you need at least one charge in your badge to open a game. However, if you run out of charges, you can always wait some minutes until it gets regenerated or just purchase it on the fly.

Clue: Remember that the search is made in all directions, so that your game mate could also be in the upper floor or at the downstairs café.

You can invite someone to chat after playing with that person.

Exchanged messages are private and are only shared between your game mate and you. They are not stored anywhere, and will be automatically deleted whenever you close the chat. This feature is great to ensure your privacy and keep your conversations safe, but remember to write down any information that you want to keep (for example, a social network channel, the name of a good restaurant, or any information than has been shared with you through the chat) because the conversations cannot be restored once closed.

As games, chats require a charge from your badge. But don't worry if you run out of them and somebody invites you to chat: you can still open the chat and get a charge afterwards, so that you don't lose any chance of having a nice conversation around.

Your charges are automatically regenerated over time without requiring no action from your side. Also, you can get more at the store or watching a bonus videos. Some bonus will also give you time reductions to speed up your charge regeneration, such as the charge accelerator or your daily gift.

Boosters are available in your main menu, and remember to enter every day and claim your daily gift, which has nice surprises inside.

Disconnection means that the communication between the other person and you is interrupted. This can happen due to several reasons: If the other player leaves the chat or game, it will get automatically disconnected. If you move too far away from the other person (or they do from you), the connection among you could be broken. Also, turning Bluetooth off will also close all the communication with other players, so remember to keep it enabled while your are chatting or playing.

When your game mate is disconnected, any ongoing game or chat will be closed and you'll be able to get back to the search screen to find new people around you.

Yes. You can look for people, play and chat with them even though you don't have mobile data. Some functionalities such as watching bonus videos or purchasing items through the Google Play's billing system may become unavailable while you don't have an internet connection, but the main features of the application will be still available for you to enjoy them.
