GPS Game Wins, Comes to Indoor Show; How Will it be Played?

LBS GPS
Games on Deck reports winners of a mobile gaming contest, the Independent Games Festival (IGF) Mobile awards; they'll be on display at the 2008 Game Developers Conference this week in San Francisco. Among them is KnowledgeWhere's PhoneTag Elite, which won Innovation in Augmented Design Award, Presented by NVIDIA. The game is described as high tech hide and seek using cell phone GPS.

According to the report, all the games will be playable in a special pavilion. "All finalists will be featured in playable form within the special pavilion on the Game Developers Conference 2008 show floor." I wonder how PhoneTag Elite players will access GPS?

The phone has a tutorial mode for playing indoors, since the GPS won't work inside. Take a look at the game on the GDC Mobile floor and let us know what you think.

If you want more information on the game check out the website at playphonetag.com
