The 2018 thriller Searching has a surprise hit with both critics and audiences and now a spiritual sequel has arrived that audiences can watch, Missing, and it is drumming up similar praise. 

Like its predecessor, Missing tells its story almost entirely through the use of screen devices — laptops, phones, etc — using these technologies to help tell the story and provide the audience with key information. Can you make the experience even more meta and watch Missing on your laptop or phone? Or are those smaller screens going to be blown up for viewing on the big screen of a movie theater?

Here is what you need to know about how to watch Missing.
