Public Transit Reality Game

Corngood writes "Like Pacmahattan, but with streetcars. Toronto designer Joel Friesen has created a giant game of tag using cell phones and Toronto's public transit system. Live Action Scotland Yard (L.A.S.Y.) is a giant game of hide and seek. One guy tries to hide by using the subway system while three or four other people have to find out where he is by the clues he leaves and the dispatchers phoned in instructions. The game starts this Saturday the 23rd, he's looking for more players. It's free, promotes public transport, and there will be beers afterwards."

Summary is redundant

Its an activity taking place in Canada. The part about having beer afterward is implied.

"Reality game"?

I guess all those times I played hide-and-go-seek in the woods when I was a little kid now qualify as a "reality game."

Good to know.

I can see it now:

Boss: So, Mr. Jones, What did you do on your lunch break?

Mr.Jones: Well, a couple of my coworkers and I played this really cool game of high-tech tag!! I was AWSOME!!

Boss: I See. {ahem}. Do you know you're an adult, Mr. Jones?

Mr.Jones: Yes, I know it sounds dumb, but it was really REALLY FUN!

Obscure?

The winner will be the first one who makes it to Mornington Crescent.
