A game I'm curious about

[revrico]

I'm sitting here, thinking of games and things we did when we were younger, and began to wonder. Are they any GPS based games? Like a scavenger hunt or "treasure hunt" that sends you to various locations? With options, like walking distance or drive time, types of places (food, coffee, wifi, park, etc) or time to beat goals. Maybe even "rules" like only one direction of turns or other things. Used to drive around doing this all the time, and I think it would be a great thing to have just to find new things to do with.

If there are not currently any apps such as this, I hope to plant the seed in someones mind for this.

It sounds like you're talking about geocaching. I've never gotten into it, but there is an absolutely HUGE population of people that enjoy this sort of thing. You can learn more about it here: Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site

And yes, there are many apps that help support this. Just type geocaching into the market.

Have fun!
