Here are a few games that get you outside. I make Near, so that's my pick for a hide-and-seek afternoon with friends.
| Game | What you do |
|---|---|
| Near | Find a hiding team of friends using questions, transit and a shared map. |
| Geocaching | Find hidden containers and sign their logbooks. |
| Pokémon GO | Catch Pokémon at real-world locations. |
| Ingress | Work with a faction to capture and link portals. |
| Zombies, Run! | Walk, jog or run with an audio story and optional chases. |
For a game with your friends
Near gives your group a private room, a border everyone can see and questions that shade the map. During the active hunt, seekers get answers rather than the hiders' live coordinates. It's free to create and join games in a browser or the Android app.
