The whole catalog, tile by tile
4,462 invaders have been put up so far. 2,957 are still visible, 25 are hidden for now, and 1,475 are gone: they no longer have a page, but they still count.
One tile per invader, city after city starting with Paris. Tap or hover over a tile to identify it.
The app, screen by screen
-
The map as it is today
Every invader has its pin and its state: in place, damaged, not visible or destroyed. States are updated continuously, so when one falls or comes back, the map follows.
-
One tap, it's flashed
The sheet shows the points and the state, and opens directions in Apple Maps or Google Maps. “Flashed!” adds it to your collection, synced across your devices if you have an account.
-
Flash Tour
Say how much time you have. The app draws a walking loop through the invaders you still need around you, in three sizes. Two free tries every month, unlimited with Pro.
-
City by city
Your progress in every city: invaders flashed, points, and the destroyed ones you got in time. Share a city you've finished, or the one that's holding out.
-
Only what's left
Hide what you already have, filter by points or by state. Out on the street, only the invaders worth the detour remain.
-
Told when things change
A new invader goes up, another is destroyed or visible again: you get a notification, and the map is already up to date.
-
Your collection, from a video
Record your screen while scrolling through your Flash Invaders gallery: the app reads your flashes on your phone, and you check them before they're added. A .txt or .csv list works too.
-
The invader in space
SPACE2ISS is on board the International Space Station. The app shows the station live, tells you when it passes over you and how to flash the invader from the ground.

Questions
Is Invaders Finder free?
Yes. The map, search and flashes are free. The app shows ads and offers two optional extras: No Ads, a one-time purchase, and Pro, a subscription that adds unlimited Flash Tours.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything works on your phone without one. An account keeps your flashes safe and syncs them across your devices.
How do I mark an invader as flashed?
Tap “Flashed!” on the map or on its sheet. Flashes you made elsewhere can be imported from Settings: from a screen recording of your Flash Invaders gallery, or from a simple list of IDs.
Is this the official FlashInvaders app?
No. FlashInvaders is the artist's app, the one that scores your flashes. Invaders Finder is an independent companion to find invaders and plan your walks.
Where do the states come from?
From the community and from our own checks. A state can be wrong for a few days: if an invader isn't where the app says, write to us from the Support page.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes, on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later.
Which languages?
Français, English, Español, Deutsch, Italiano, 日本語, Svenska.
Does it work offline?
Yes. After the first launch, the catalog stays on your phone. Your flashes sync when you're back online.
Is my location shared?
No. It shows you on the map and isn't stored on our servers. A Flash Tour sends its waypoints to compute the route, without keeping them.
Your next invader is probably closer than you think.
Invaders Finder is free on iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later.
