Terms & Community Guidelines

Last updated: June 9, 2026

These Terms of Use and Community Guidelines ("Terms") govern your use of Capture the Flag ("the App"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Community Guidelines

Capture the Flag includes in-game chat so teammates and players can coordinate. To keep it safe for everyone, you agree not to use the App — including chat, your display name, or any other communication — to post or send content that is:

• harassing, bullying, threatening, or hateful toward any person or group;
• sexually explicit, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
• defamatory, fraudulent, or invasive of another person's privacy;
• illegal, or that promotes illegal or dangerous activity;
• spam, advertising, or impersonation of another person.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive users.

Reporting and blocking

Every player has tools to control their experience, available directly from the in-game chat:

• Block — hide a player so you no longer see any of their messages. Blocking takes effect immediately and persists on your device.
• Report — flag an offensive message to us. Reports are sent to the moderators for review; the reported player is also blocked for you automatically.

We review reports and act on objectionable content — which may include removing content and ejecting abusive users from play. To report a serious issue directly, email ctfgamesupport@gmail.com and we will respond as promptly as we can.

Your account & identity

The App has no accounts or passwords — you simply choose a display name. You are responsible for the name you choose and for everything you send through the App. Don't impersonate others, and don't put personal information in chat or your name.

Play safely in the real world

Capture the Flag is a GPS game played outdoors. Stay aware of your surroundings. Obey all laws, respect private property, and don't trespass, play in unsafe areas, or use the App while driving. You play at your own risk, and you are responsible for your own safety and that of others around you.

Acceptable use

• Don't cheat, exploit bugs, spoof your location, or interfere with other players or the game servers.
• Don't attempt to disrupt, reverse engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the App or its servers.
• Games are invite-only — share join codes only with people you trust.

The App is provided "as is"

The App is a free, hobbyist game provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the App, including any conduct of other players or anything that happens while you are playing in the real world.

Donations

The game is free. An optional "Support the Game" link opens an external donation page (Ko-fi). Donations are voluntary, are not required to play, and do not unlock any features.

Termination

We may restrict or end access to the App or its servers for anyone who violates these Terms or the Community Guidelines.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
