The real system in action

A live FrightLink hardware test, not a concept animation.

A remote fires your props. FrightLink runs the haunt.

Spirit's Multi-Prop Remote is a simple way to manually fire up to four animatronics. FrightLink is for haunters who want sensors, programmable timing, and repeatable scenes.

Best for

Low-cost manual prop control

Porches, yards, walkthroughs, and timed scenes

Fire together, stagger the scare, or split a huge haunt into zones.

The Hub runs the scene. You decide which outputs fire, whether they fire on the same cue, and how long to wait between them.

Start without wireless relays

3 configurable ports

Run 3 wired props, OR configure 1 port for a Try Me button and use the other 2 for wired props. The prop outputs can fire together or on separate delays.

Expand around one property

Up to 16 sensors and triggers per Hub

Each Executioner adds one wireless prop trigger. A scene can fire multiple wired and wireless outputs together or sequence them with deliberate delays.

Build a large attraction

Use multiple Hubs for dozens of animatronics

Divide a walkthrough or paid haunt into reliable local zones, then manage those Hubs from the FrightMaps app. Local scenes keep running without internet.

The Try Me button starts the scene; the Hub then sends trigger signals to the compatible props connected to its other ports.

How FrightLink Works in 3 Steps

A quick primer before you build a kit. No technical stuff β€” just the idea.

1

What is FrightLink?

FrightLink is a wireless trigger system for Halloween haunts. Sensors detect guests as they walk up, and your animatronic props fire on cue β€” no wires across the yard, no buttons to stand by.

Everything runs through a small Hub that you plug into a wall outlet and pair with the FrightMaps app once. The Hub coordinates every signal: sensors talk to it, and it tells your triggers when to fire. One Hub is enough for almost any yard.

2

What do I need?

Three pieces β€” that's the whole system:

  • 1 Hub β€” the brain. Almost every haunt only needs one.
  • Sensors at every spot you want guests to trigger a scene. Two kinds:
    • Ghost β€” classic PIR motion sensor (passive infrared). Best when guests walk in front of it with a clear sightline.
    • Poltergeist β€” coming soon. It is not available to order yet.
  • Executioners β€” one per prop. Plugs into the prop's 3.5mm try-me or step-pad jack and lets the Hub fire it wirelessly.
3

Why sensors? (Scenes & zones)

One sensor = one scene. A scene can fire any number of props in a chain with delays, so a single sensor on the front walk can run your whole haunt automatically.

Want different scares in different spots? Add more sensors β€” each one becomes its own zone. The Hub keeps them straight: front-walk sensor fires the porch scene, graveyard sensor fires a different scene, hallway sensor fires another.

Cloud Features

Optional cloud connectivity layered on top of fully-offline local triggering. Pick a tab to dig in.

Live status, anywhere

Remote View

See your haunt's live state from anywhere with WiFi.

Open the FrightMaps app from your phone β€” at work, at the bar, on the road β€” and watch your sensors fire in real time. See which sensor just triggered, which Executioner fired, whether a battery is running low, or if a device went offline.

  • Live sensor & Executioner state
  • Battery level & signal strength per device
  • Trigger history with timestamps
  • Push notification when something fires (optional)
Cloud-required
Fire scares from afar

Trigger From Anywhere

Manual scare on demand β€” even when you're not home.

Tap any prop in your scene from the app and it fires instantly, whether you're standing in the front yard or 500 miles away. Great for testing, surprising visitors, or running a scene from the porch while you greet trick-or-treaters.

  • One-tap scene fire from anywhere
  • Multi-prop sequences trigger remotely
  • Latency typically under a second over a good connection
  • Local Bluetooth fallback when away from WiFi
Cloud-required for off-network
Always current

OTA Firmware Updates

Hub pulls new firmware over WiFi, then pushes it to every device.

When we ship a fix or a new feature, your Hub downloads it automatically and distributes the update to your sensors and Executioners over the local mesh β€” no plugging anything into a computer, no firmware files to manage. Devices update one at a time so the haunt stays online.

  • Hub fetches firmware over WiFi from FrightMaps cloud
  • Distributes to sensors & Executioners over the local mesh
  • Rolling updates β€” devices reboot one at a time
  • Manual or auto-update mode in the app
Hardware always works without it
Never lose a scene

Sequence Backup & Sync

Your scenes live in your account, not just on a single Hub.

Build a perfect haunt scene one year, get a new Hub the next year β€” your sequences are right there. They sync to the cloud automatically and restore on any Hub paired to your account. Move to a new house, share with a friend, or run two yards from the same scene library.

  • Automatic backup of all scenes & trigger rules
  • Restore to any Hub on your account
  • Edit on phone, sync to Hub instantly
  • Share scenes with other haunters (opt-in)
Cloud-required
Bigger haunts

Multi-Hub Coordination

Run a haunt that's bigger than one Hub can cover.

For attractions and large yards, link two or more Hubs over WiFi and trigger sequences across all of them β€” front gate fires, back room fires three seconds later, lights drop in the hallway in between. Cloud-coordinated, but each Hub still runs locally if internet drops.

  • Cross-Hub sequences with shared timing
  • Each Hub stays autonomous if cloud drops
  • Up to 16 devices per Hub Γ— N Hubs
  • Single FrightMaps app dashboard for the whole site
Coming after V1
Works without internet

Offline-First Architecture

The cloud is a bonus. The hardware is the foundation.

Every cloud feature is opt-in. Your Hub, sensors, and Executioners run the entire haunt over their own local wireless mesh with zero internet dependency β€” sensors trigger, sequences fire, scares happen. Lose WiFi mid-haunt? The system keeps running. Cancel your subscription? The hardware still works the same.

  • Local triggering & sequences run fully offline
  • WiFi only required for cloud features
  • Subscription pause = cloud pauses, hardware doesn't
  • No internet on Halloween night? No problem.
No subscription needed for core features

Frequently Asked

FrightLink uses its own dedicated wireless mesh between the Hub, sensors, and Executioners β€” built for low latency and reliability in noisy haunt environments. Bluetooth is only used briefly during initial Hub setup with the FrightMaps app.
Yes. If your prop has a try-me button or 3.5mm step-pad / trigger input, the Executioner plugs in and triggers it wirelessly. No replacing your gear, no proprietary protocol.
No β€” local triggering (sensors β†’ Hub β†’ Executioner) works fully offline. Cloud features (remote view, sequence backup, OTA updates) require a WiFi connection on the Hub.
Up to 600 ft line of sight between the Hub and any device under ideal conditions, with mesh hops extending coverage further. Typical real-world range is 100-300 ft depending on walls, fences, and metal between devices. For whole-yard haunts we recommend placing the Hub centrally.
Yes. Assign each sensor to its own scene: Sensor A can trigger Prop A while Sensor B triggers Prop B, even in the same room. Sensors do not automatically fire every prop. They only run the scene you assign, so they fire together only when you configure them to.
Your hardware always works locally. Sensors, triggers, and sequences continue running. Cloud features (remote view, off-network triggering, cloud backup) pause until you resume.
Sensors and Executioners run on a 3000mAh LiPo. In typical Halloween-night use (deep sleep between triggers) you'll get a full evening on a single charge, with battery life depending on trigger frequency and sensor type. We recommend topping off the day of.
Yes, FrightLink is designed for sheltered outdoor haunt setups. The hardware uses IP-rated components, conformal-coated PCBs, and gasketed enclosures to help resist moisture. The assembled devices are weather-resistant, not waterproof, so place them under a porch, overhang, or weather cover. Do not leave them in direct rain or submerge them.
The first production run has sold out and is shipping to its buyers now. Orders placed today are part of Round 2, with an estimated ship date of October 1 β€” in time for Halloween. Founder pricing is locked in for everyone who orders before September 1, 2026 β€” after that, pricing returns to retail.
