The Go Game App Creates the First True Urban iPhone Adventures in Time for SXSW
Just in time for SXSW, The Go Game, creators of the first technology-driven location-based games today announced the availability of The Go Game App, the most immersive real-world game ever introduced on the iPhone.
What is it?
The Go Game isn't just about your 'social graph.' It's about real-world fun with your real live friends. Part customizable urban scavenger-hunt, part creative multimedia challenges, actor encounters, trivia and head-to-head challenges; The Go Game is the first location-based game app to fully integrate video into the core of gameplay. The Go Game's missions result in the kind of hilarious pictures and videos with friends that anyone would want to share with the world through Facebook Connect.
See how the app works in this video.
"The Go Game's App is about creating amazingly memorable moments and media with your friends," said Finn Kelly, The Go Game co-founder. "Google Ventures may invest in SCVNGR, but they call us when they want to have a real party for their employees. The iPhone's technology lets us bring the fun of a full corporate Go Game to private parties."
How to Play:
The Go Game is a free for download in the Apple App Store with basic functionality including 1-1 challenges and local gameplay. During the debut weekend, the app's free functionality is SXSW themed for the interactive masses in Austin, with updates rolled out. Full party hosting can be set up through the app or online.
