Features & Capabilities

Ghost-o-Matic is an augmented reality storytelling companion designed to be used with the Ghostkeeper's Journal.

The experience blends traditional reading with AR, delivering fifty-plus animation sequences, digital puzzles, and personalized achievements as part of an overarching mystery about the Ghostkeeping society and its secrets.

How to play: launch the app, point your device at your Journal to trigger AR features, and join SPRUNG to begin chasing Agamemnon White’s trail. Follow in-app prompts to recapture trapped spirits and advance the story. The app is designed to work offline after download, stores data locally on your device, and is free to use. It supports a range of devices (e.g., iPhone 5+/iPad 2+/iPod Touch 6th Gen+ on iOS 8.0+). Note: no WiFi is required after download, and information remains on your device.

User Reviews

Users praise Ghost-o-Matic for its immersive ghost-themed puzzles, AR scanning, and strong book-to-app integration, with many saying the puzzles are fun, the stories engaging, and the atmosphere spooky. However, repeated issues across reviews center on technical bugs: camera/scanning problems (black screen, misalignment, color distortions), slow or failed synchronization, and errors that block progress (access denied, Runaway Part 2, teeth puzzles). Some devices experience download/install problems. Overall, fans see great concept and production but demand reliable performance and fixes to realize the game's potential.

Pros

High production quality and seamless integration between the book and the app.
Fun, engaging puzzles with interesting backstories and multiple ghost cases.
Atmospheric, spooky vibe that appeals to paranormal fans.
Replay value with multiple cases and engaging backstories.

Cons

Scanning/AR camera issues: black screen, misalignment, color distortions during scanning.
Synchronization/loading issues: slow or failed sync, 'not synchronized' errors, and general progress blockers.
Progress blockers on specific sections: Runaway Part 2, ghost reveal, teeth puzzles not working or unresponsive to scanning.
Device compatibility/download issues on some devices (e.g., iPhone 7 not downloading).
Frequent bugs and stability problems affecting overall experience.

I went into the game thinking (wow cool game!) And it’s cool not to lie! Solving ghost puzzles yeah up to standard. But when you want to do the the puzzles you never know when there is a STUPID problem! And I’am warning you that you should only download this app if you are INSANELY patient , are willing to test your patience’s or have the smallest brain cells in the matrix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is how I feel: 😡😫😤😭😣😫😵‍💫😵🙅🏻‍♀️🙎🏻‍♀️👊🏼😔😒!!! Like why?!

So basically, this is what happened: I’m here, with my S.P.R.U.N.G book, installing this app. I allow all the cameras and all that stuff, but when I try to scan the book, the screen just stays all black. The buttons all work but the scanning screen itself is always black no matter where I point it. I keep trying to scan stuff but NOTHING works. I have an iPad7, so it shouldn’t be having problems, but I’ve had it up to here with this app. If this doesn’t get fixed soon, I don’t know what I’ll do because I LOVE this series and I can’t solve the case files without this app!!! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!!!
