Point
Open the link and hold your phone up like a lantern. Say yes to camera and location once — that's it. The street shows up on your screen, and the app knows where you're standing and which way you're facing.
Point your phone.
Find the candy.
TrickOrTreat AR turns your camera into a Halloween viewfinder. Aim it down the street and glowing markers reveal which houses are handing out candy right now — live camera, GPS and compass. No app store, nothing to install.
The route
Three stops, no map-reading.
Everything happens through the phone you're already holding.
See
A bright glowing card over a roof means candy here. A grey card means they ran out. No card and dark windows — they're not playing tonight. Some houses even leave you a note, like “Squeeze the clown's nose for candy.”
Knock
Walk to the bright doors, skip the dark ones. Want to plan ahead? One tap swaps the camera for a street map. Distances show in plain feet, and houses appear from a few blocks away.
Under the hood
Why the markers don't wobble.
A phone's compass on its own is jittery — markers would swim around the screen. So the app blends three senses your phone already has:
The gyroscope feels every turn instantly. The compass keeps everything pointed the right way. GPS knows where you're standing. Blended together, the markers stay glued to the houses while you spin around — the same trick flight-tracker apps use to pin planes in the sky.

🍬 CANDY TONIGHT
Thirty seconds to get on the street's radar:
- Type your address, then drag the pin onto your roof so the marker lands right on your house — not the driveway, not the neighbor's.
- Leave a note for the kids (up to 150 characters): “out from 6–10pm”, “take TWO”, “squeeze the clown's nose for candy.”
- Bowl empty? Tap out of candy — every phone on the street updates in seconds, and nobody rings a dry doorbell.
- No sign-up. Your phone remembers your house; change or remove it whenever you like.
