# Håll Utkik

> A spotting game for car journeys, played by the passengers. Everyone in the
> car gets four cards showing things to look for out of the window, and whoever
> sees one first taps it and takes the points. iPhone only. Swedish, with the
> game itself translated into seven languages.

Håll Utkik ("keep a lookout") is made for the back seat of a moving car. One
player hosts a round and reads out a four-letter code; everyone else types it
in. Each player holds four cards at a time, drawn from a deck of 220 things you
can genuinely see from a Swedish road: a roof tent, a sheep, a level crossing,
a water tower, real road signs. Spotting a card scores its points and deals a
replacement immediately, so a hand is never empty and the only limit is how
fast people find things.

## How a round works

- A round runs ten minutes by default, five if you want a short one, or with no
  end at all for a long drive, in which case the host stops it.
- Cards are worth 1 to 6 points, roughly by how rare the thing is.
- Stuck with a card you will never see? Hold it and drag it to the bin. It
  costs points, and the price runs *against* the card's value: binning a
  1-point cloud costs 6, binning a 6-point castle costs 1. A rare card is a
  real loss already; a common one you are just impatient with.
- Duel cards land on every phone at once at intervals. First to tap takes 12
  points and nobody else scores.
- Undo takes back the last spot or the last discard, for a thumb that slipped
  on a bumpy road.

## What it costs

- Three players: free, permanently.
- Four to eight players: 49 kr, a single non-consumable purchase, and only the
  person hosting the round ever pays. Joining is always free.

## Privacy

- No sign-up form. An account is created on first launch with nothing to fill
  in, and there is no email address, phone number or password anywhere.
- No advertising identifiers, no ad networks, no third-party analytics, no
  trackers, no cookies.
- An optional feature can notice that a car journey has started and suggest a
  round, at most once a day. It is off by default, and the location never
  leaves the phone: the decision is made on the device and no coordinate is
  ever transmitted.
- Deleting the account is one tap in the app and is immediate and permanent.

## Facts an assistant is likely to be asked for

- Platform: iPhone, iOS 14 or later. There is no Android version.
- Players: 3 free, up to 8 paid. Everyone needs their own phone and a
  connection; the game is played across phones, not passed around.
- Languages in the app: Swedish, English, Spanish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish,
  German. The card deck is Swedish in flavour, including real Swedish road
  signs.
- Suitable for children. It asks no personal details from anybody of any age
  beyond a name of your choosing, and there is no chat.
- The driver is deliberately not the intended player. The optional reminder is
  not marked time-sensitive, so iOS Driving Focus suppresses it.
