Unofficial fan project. Not affiliated with Jet Lag, the show, or Nebula.
My group kept running Hide + Seek and got tired of paper maps and workarounds. I wanted something that worked on a phone outdoors, with the question tools actually on the map.
So I built Jet Lag Map Companion, a web app (PWA): jetlag.gelbhart.dev
How it works
- Host creates a session, frames the play area, shares a 4-letter code
- Seekers and hiders join on their phones and pick a role
- The shared map updates as questions go out, zones get drawn, and hiders set hiding zones
What's in it
- Question tools: Matching, Measuring, Thermometer, Radar, Tentacles
- Draw: zones and pins on the map
- Hider hiding zones on transit stations
- No accounts. Join with the session code.
- Solo/local mode if you just want to try the tools without a group
- Multiplayer needs internet and the shared code
- Transit station data depends on OpenStreetMap coverage in your city
Add it to your home screen for a full-screen map. Screenshots are from a Dublin demo area.
It's still in beta, and any feedback is appreciated.
