Ghost Hunt

Buffer is hunting ghosts in made-up screenshots: Mira's laptop, a group chat and a costume shop page. Each ghost is a small oddity, like a clock at 9:76 PM or a discount that doesn't add up. Find all 3 or 4 on a screen before the candle burns out, and every catch tells you what was wrong.

How to play

Look closely. Each screen is a fake screenshot: a desktop, a group chat or a shop page. 3 or 4 things on it can't be right.
Tap the oddities. A time that can't exist, a total that doesn't add up, a reply that misquotes the message. Each catch explains what was wrong.
Mind the candle. Tapping something normal burns 3 seconds of candle. If it burns out with ghosts left, you lose one of 3 lives.
Score. 100 per ghost, plus 10 per second of candle left when you find them all.

Quick tips

Check the numbers. Times, percentages and totals are the easiest ghosts: minutes stop at 59, batteries at 100%.
Compare with the facts on screen. The date, the member list and the cart line are clues: a delivery date before today can't be right.
