GPS Mission launched last May on several different GPS-enabled handsets, and was recently launched as a free app for the iPhone. The game allows users to create their own games and missions, and a large community of players has built up around the German developed system.
And at the 2009 Mobile Peer Awards, GPS Mission was voted as the audiences favourite game in the Early Stage Start-Ups, with over 1,000 attendees judging the entrants.
Currently GPS Mission offers a variety of different game styles available, based in over 60 different countries most of which have been put together by the users themselves. Scavenger hunts, guides, time travelling games, and crime stories are popular formats for the platform, all tied to real life locations and accessed through a GPS-enabled handset.
The iPhone version is currently a free download over on the App Store, and the success of GPS Mission at the Peer Awards clearly demonstrates the burgeoning interest in real location gaming an entirely different take on the cross over between mobile gaming and social networking.
