Mission: Getting gamers to leave their basements & go outside. Sounds impossible? Well, have a little faith. The new gaming trend by UK company LocoMatrix, easily pushes gamers to get up, out & about with the mobile based 'Treasure Hunt' game. The gamer tracks his real life position using the map on his photo screen. He is given a specific goal and must follow photo clues in order to reach the desired destination. A 'warmometer' hints to the gamer whether he is getting 'warmer' or 'colder' so that he has an indication of how close he is getting to the treasure. Finally gamers can get a little sunshine and discover that the healthy great outdoors can be a challenging & compelling gaming scenario.

There are 1 responses to "Out on the Streets with the GPS Treasure Hunt Game".
Geocaching has been around since 2000, so it isn't exactly a "new gaming trend."
