Wherigo Game Wherigo is a GPS based activity created by the people who invented Geocaching that can be played outdoors . Wherigo is a mix between an adventure game and a Geocache search. The user takes a part in a story that takes advantage of information provided by the GPS telling the device where you are physically residing to trigger in-game events, such as reaching a virtual object or interacting with characters. Completing an adventure can require reaching different locations and solving puzzles. Currently ‘official’ software needed to play Wherigo is only available for a small number of mobile platforms, specifically Windows Mobile phones and Garmin GPS devices. However there are unofficial apps freely available including ‘PiGo’ for the Apple iPhone and ‘Whereyougo’ for Android. We have recently created a demonstration game in which the player has to help the ghost of a victorian girl find her long lost brother in the grounds of our local park. If you want to give it a go follow this link to see how you can get this game on your phone or GPS device. We can see Wherigo having huge potential for tourist attractions and branded outdoor games and activities. Why not arrange a meeting with us to see how you can be part of the adventure.

We have recently been participating in the global treasure hunt that is Geocaching (see the video above for a quick explanation).  We decided to hide our own ‘Revolting’ Cache in the countryside near the studio. If you have a GPS enabled smartphone (iPhone or Android) you can download an App to help you locate our Geocache.  You can find the GPS coordinates for our Geocache here. Experiments with this are all part of some work we are doing at the moment that involves location specific experiences untilising the GPS capabilities of the new wave of smart phones (see here for another recent project). We would love to talk to you about how these new innovations can help spread your message.
