location-based gaming

Location-based gaming is a type of interactive game that uses your real-world geographic location to influence gameplay. These games often rely on GPS technology from your device to detect where you are, enabling you to explore the physical environment while playing. Players might visit specific spots, complete tasks, or find virtual objects mapped onto real-world locations. Popular examples include games like Pokémon GO, which encourages outdoor exploration and movement. This blending of digital and physical spaces creates an immersive experience, motivating people to engage with their surroundings through gameplay.
