St. Paul, MN, November 18, 2012 --(PR.com)-- ParkQuest is a free mobile game that provides an immersive, interactive, and customized adventure at public parks and other outdoor areas. Players search for treasures, collect magic items, and battle against monsters in the real world; in real time and space. Players will use their phone as a map, compass, sword, shield, magic wand, even a shovel! Jack Games desires to use this framework to enrich our public parks and get people excited about visiting them and spending time there.
Features
-GPS-Enabled Park Treasure Map tracks player position in real time (and the position of the monsters in the game)
-Events, treasures and challenges have specific, real world locations (players must find them in the park)
-Interactions use tactile motion detection and touch features of the phone (players can swing sword, dig with shovel, point wand and cast spells!)
-New events and challenges daily, special events on specified dates and times
-Share-able "Souvenir photos" commemorate accomplishments, times played and places visited
ParkQuest provides a variety of events and activities. Imagine some of the possibilities:
-Search for Buried Treasure
-Imagine using a map and compass to find the X on the map, and then using your phone like a shovel to dig up a treasure chest! Commemorate the find by taking a picture- with the treasure!
Go on a Dragon Hunt
Imagine hunting a Dragon that lives somewhere in your park. Players will see it flying in the sky. Once it is tracked down, players need figure out how to capture it, or use your sword and shield to defend themselves?
Catch a Fairy
There are fairies in the park! They are hard to find, and can be hard to catch! Players can use the net to catch one and they may help find secret treasures.
Learn to be a Wizard
Imagine pointing the phone like a wand, calling out the name of a spell, a casting a spell to shoot fire, become invisible, or turn goblins into frogs! Players can find a school and learn new magic spells!
Escape the Zombie Horde
Imagine a horde of Zombies that stalks you throughout the park. Players can temporarily fend them off, players can perhaps outrun them, but how will they survive when they just keep chasing?
Maybe Just a Stroll?
Go on a daily scavenger hunt for the GeoTokens, which are placed at new locations in your park each time. Along the way players will earn gold coins- just for walking!
ParkQuest is currently being supported by a Kickstarter campaign with the goal of setting up several new parks in the United States.
