GPS Mission is a multiplayer GPS location based scavanger hunt game for Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile devices. Any player can create “missions” on gpsmission.com without any programming knowledge and set puzzles for fellow players to solve in the real-world.

The aim of GPS Mission is to complete missions which are created by other players. These missions can be created for any place in the world with a tool called Mission Designer. A mission may be a scavenger hunt enriched with information on sights to see and things worth noting, may lead to a hidden cache or may simply be a guide to the creator’s favourite places.
Whilst playing, the player collects gold placed and hidden by the mission’s creator and completes photo missions. With the gold collected the player can purchase trophies, medals and badges as souvenirs and display them in the community.

As soon as the game is activated, the mobile client displays where the nearest missions in the area are and guides the player with map support to the missions’ start points. Once in the game, the player solves location-based puzzles so as to reach the next checkpoint, collects gold, which moves him higher up the ranking, and completes photo missions. A “mark your way” function allows players to mark exciting places with pictures for the creation of missions, even outside the game. The pictures are geo-located and available on the website to players when they next log on.

The greatest collector of gold in the beta phase, which lasts until the end of July, will win a trip to the 2008 Oktoberfest in Munich. Also, a note worthy point is that this game was nominated as a semi-finalist in the Global Navteq LBS Challenge.
