FAQ

Does it work on my watch?

Fright Night runs on Garmin watches with wrist heart rate and Connect IQ. The Connect IQ store page lists every supported model.

Will the watch vibrate and scare me?

Never. There is no vibration and no sound during a session: the watch only shows BOO! on its screen, it never scares you itself.

How do I share my night?

Press SHARE on the watch at the end of the night. A page opens on your phone with your score card as a picture, ready for any messenger, social network or story. With Pro, type your name in the app's settings in Garmin Connect and it goes on the card.

How does the leaderboard work?

Every night of 10 minutes or more that you share from the watch goes on it. Each name keeps two records: its highest Scare Score, in Most scared, and its lowest, in Bravest. No name in the settings, or no Pro? You play as Anonymous.

Is it a medical device?

No. Fright Night is for entertainment only and does not diagnose anything. Wrist heart-rate sensors smooth and delay sudden changes, so very small startles may go unnoticed.
