We feel honored that both of our premium location-based games on GPS Mission
Pro are nominated for the IMG Awards, which will be held during the Mobile World Congress on February 15th in Barcelona. Ghost Patrol, the reality Ghostbusters-style game, and Dark Orbit Ground Forces, the “real-world extension” of the blockbuster Browsergame from Bigpoint’s Dark Orbit, are nominated in the category “Best real world game”. You can play both games exclusively on the iPhone 3G or GS with our App GPS Mission Pro ( http://gpsmission.com/apps/iphone/pro ).

What’s next for GPS Mission?
We’ve built a community driven GPS game. But what’s next?
Above and Below Hamburg
GPS Mission on TV
(Tunnel below river Elbe, Hamburg; picture via wikipedia)
GPS-Mission even works in the tunnel below the river Elbe - as has been shown by the German TV show "Rund um den Michel" on NDR.
Yesterdays edition of the Hamburg based show was themed around "traces and tracing". Yago, a Hamburg based player and his friend were chased through town in a nice mission the TV team came up with - going deep down under the Elbe and high up to a bar with an excellent view over Hamburg as well as exploring an old Bunker.
In the tunnel they had to find out how deep it is at its deepest point - and surprisingly they could send their answer right away from down there. Which of course was a trick - in reality players have to get out of the tunnel until they can post the answer to the riddle since there is neither internet nor GPS reception down there.
By the way, this was the second time GPS Mission was on German TV - a few weeks ago it has been on 3Sat, in a short feature on Location Based Games which can be watched online.

If you take a look at the GPS-Mission map of Bremen, you´ll find quite a few missions that either make you play a gangster or a police officer.More Cable Salad
