Big Game Huntr; a mobile location based game which encourages emergent behaviour by allowing the general public to design their own games around any subject to be played in a place of their own choosing.
Players are required to capture photos of specified objects or actions, points are awarded depending on the location in which they take the photo.
Big Game Huntr is designed to work alongside Twitter and TwitPic, but don't worry if you don't have a Twitter account you can still play the game. Once you have registered you can set up your own event online using the admin area of BigGameHuntr.com, this is where you can create your own event in a location of your choice, set a list of clues, choose the zones you want to use (this is the only limitation we have at the minute we are limiting the number of zones to 6 - if you would like this to be increased please contact us at info@bghuntr.com and we will see what we can do) and finally strategically positioning your zones on the map.
If you don't want to setup your own event you can play other events that have already been setup (this is the beauty of BigGameHuntr if you're in an area where a game has already been setup why not participate in that game?). The mobile client logs into the system and retrieves you current position and downloads the list of events that you can play. Once you have selected your event the mobile plots your location on the map and provides you with an interface that is simple to use and consistent with other map applications. To score maximum points the player must move into the zones and upload photos related to the clues to that event. There are three different size zones Green, Orange and Red (green zone [2 points], orange zone [5 points] and red zone [10 points]). The players select the clue they wish to take a photo of and upload the photo to the BigGameHuntr website, and if you have logged into the game with your Twitter account then the game data will be posted on Twitter and your photos uploaded to TwitPic.
