Accepted Answer

approx. 20-30 minutes
We recommend a game time of 20-30 minutes, but the admin can set the duration when the game starts. You can see which settings apply to your game on the start screen. During the game you will see the remaining game time on the timer at the bottom of the main screen.

Question 2

You can play with a maximum of 10 Team, per team there can join as many people as you like. We recommend playing with at least 4 teams, but a max of 4 people per team.

Question 3

How long am I suspended after being tagged?

Accepted Answer

60 seconds
After a tag you are out for 60 seconds, before you can continue playing again. The admin is able to change this setting.

Question 4

How long does it take to capture an air drop?

Accepted Answer

30 seconds 
After you press the capture button, a timer of 30 seconds starts. After that you will get a success message and the air drop points. You can see the remaining time until the capture in the main menu at the countdown bar around the compass map or in the camera menu at the bar at the top. The admin is able to change this setting.

Question 5

How many points do I get for tags, how many for air drops?

Accepted Answer

approx. 100 for Tags, 300 for Air Drops
Catag chooses the best point distributions for your game depending on the number of players, the number of teams and the field size. The admin can also change the number of points manually. You can see which settings are valid for your game in the start screen.

Question 6

How many points do I get for photographing a team with Head Hunt effect?

Accepted Answer

Half of your point difference
If you can tag the hunted team you get half of your point difference, but at least the point amount for a normal catch. This means that the further back you are, the more worthwhile it is for you to catch the team with Head Hunt effect.

Question 7

How long does the Head Hunt effect last?

Accepted Answer

Maximum 3 minutes
The effect lasts a maximum of 3 minutes, but will end earlier if the first ranked team is successfully caught. If one of the other teams is tagged during the Head Hunt, that team will also be unable to win the reward (but the other teams still can). The admin is able to change this setting.

Question 8

How many airdrops are active at a time?

Accepted Answer

approx. 1 - 3 Air Drops
Catag selects the appropriate number of Air Drops for your game based on the number of players, the number of teams and the size of the field. The admin can also change the number of air drops manually. You can see which settings apply to your game in the start screen.
Note that sometimes there are less air drops in the game than the maximum possible number, because after capturing an air drop a few seconds pass before a new one appears.

Question 9

Do I have to hold down the capture button during capture?

Accepted Answer

No
To start the capture it is enough to press the button once. After that you can release the button and switch to other menus (for example the camera menu).

Question 10

Can I take photos of other teams while capturing an air drop?

Accepted Answer

Yes
While your Air Drop Capture is running, you can continue to use the camera. The timer continues to run in the background and is visible in the camera menu as a bar at the top of the screen.

Question 11

Can I take a photo of a team while it is dead and send it as soon as it is alive again?

Accepted Answer

No
The app detects when the photo was taken and blocks the sending process.

Question 12

What does the message 'Bad GPS' mean?

Accepted Answer

If you see the message 'Bad GPS', it means that the accuracy of your location is exceptionally low. If this is the case, your GPS data will be ignored by the system until its accuracy improves. Otherwise, you can use the game as usual.

Question 13

Why can't I send the opposing team's photo?

Accepted Answer

It is possible that the opposing team was immune at the time the photo was taken. This is the case if:
1. this team was still tagged at the time
2. this team was tagged by you recently
3. this team tagged you a short time ago
Try tagging the team again.

If these errors are ruled out, try restarting the app.
