Google Maps (Alien Adventure Game) PLEASE FEEDBACK
A new mobile application in the style of a real time, real life treasure hunt with pursuing aliens.(Krellin, from the Forbidden Planet as they are invisible). Follow clues find the waypoints and avoid the pursuing aliens.
Join the game and get a clue to the first location.
(you must join latitude, at this point so you can be tracked online)
Using google you discover the answer to the clue and enter your guessed location into google maps Google maps to find your way way
On your journey (walking or driving) your position is monitored by the games and aliens are in pursuit.
On your handset you can see your location relative to the map and the location of aliens closing on your position, (red dots)
The aliens travel at a predetermined speed and can be outrun, but they are persistant.
On your handset you can see the aliens position and a tracker gives an audible click increasing in frequency as the aliens approach.(see Alien the movie)
On arriving where you believe the hidden waypoint is you must move around until within 3m from the waypoint where you will receive notification of your success. (this may take some time to find the spot, you may have the wrong location).
Notification will be in the form of a token which can be redeemed for the next clue
All the time the aliens approach, avoid them at all cost even if you have to run and return later, if you sign out the aliens stop, but you will have to start again with a fresh clue.
If an alien gets within 3m the gamer is dead or loses lives....
Once the token is received the gamer is shielded and can kill aliens, by approaching within 3m, (for a random 1-5mins), without injury. Each kill adds a life to the gamer.
Clues and Waypoints can and must be submitted by players and verified by administrator to build the game. Clues will be random to prevent repetition and cheating, and range of game can be selected by the user, for local or national games.( 1 mile, 5 miles or 100 miles)
For those unable to venture out, aliens may be managed online?
For online aliens each gamer kill makes them stronger ??
The more tokensthe gamer gets the higher the score, alien contact ends the game.
Or does it..
This could be an individual or family game and could work with any handset with google maps.
Also using the android Stargaze application it may be possible to see the aliens when within range by holding up the handset in the right direction, (the invisible alien would appear on the handset as it does in the virtual world).
