Blast Theory Unwires Online Games

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the real-virtual-play dept.

Wired is running a story on "wireless games" as being developed by Blast Theory. They are games played on mobile phones using GPRS to deduce the physical location of the game player, which is used as part of the game. Two different game ideas are touched on, as well as some discussion of where the ideas came from and where they're going. Cool stuff that even sounds fun, and reminds me a bit of playing tag with CB radios.

    We spend most of our time planning quilting bees and such. Feel free to attend one sometime. Most often, we provide punch and pie!
