A location-based game is a type of game that uses a player’s physical location as part of the gameplay. These games often rely on GPS or other location-tracking technology to create interactive experiences in real-world settings. Players may complete tasks, find clues, or explore specific areas based on their geographic position. Popular examples of location-based games include Pokémon Go and geocaching. These games encourage players to move around in the real world, making the environment an essential part of the game, and often combine adventure, exploration, and social interaction.
