sdk Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Some questions for you...Want a good excuse to walk more? (Who wouldn?t, it is great for you!)Do you like to explore? Do you enjoy ?capture the flag? games? Or Geocaching? Or both?!If the answer is yes to any of the above (for yourself or anyone you know), then I can recommend trying a game played by millions across the world called ?Ingress? (ingress.com) - you can download and play it for free for your Android or iOS phone.Reviews...(https://www.quora.com/What-is-your-review-of-Ingress)It has been going for a few years and has great reviews, such as this:?I'm definitely not a "gamer" but I find Ingress completely captivating. The teamwork aspect makes it really fun, and the fact that it's played in the REAL world is (pardon the pun) a game-changer. Since I started playing Ingress a month ago, I've spent a great many hours walking around my city and getting to know places I'd never seen before.?Reasons to play...Personally, I love it - it encourages a good walk as you go to capture the flags (portals) based on points of public interest; I?ve met so many lovely people and made good friends; it?s given me an excuse to go for a walk at lunchtime, I?ve lost weight, and I?ve just had a lot of fun.Perfect too if you have to move around a lot as part of your daily life. Commute on a bus? It makes the commute shoot by.Walk a dog? Brilliant. You?ll want to go for epic treks!Push a pram? My friend was always volunteering to go and take the baby for a long stroll :)Cycle or drive around? Adds an extra dimension to the journey!Travel nationally or internationally? You?ll have new friends all over country and world!Families play it together too.Give it a try, I hope you?ll enjoy it too, or suggest it to someone who you think might like it.There are two sides to choose from, and right now the green team (called ?The Enlightened?) could really, really do with your help! We?re a friendly, social bunch (who can often be found in pubs when not moving around) and we?re more than happy to help!Best wishes.James Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/112937-join-the-secret-battle-of-london-in-a-free-game-that-gets-you-moving/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdk Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 They are fairly frequent as we are quite social! But this game is great even if you don't want to be social! (I came for the game, stayed for the people!)

sdk Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 With the weather getting better, you may not need an extra excuse to get out and about, but if you do, this game is great for it, so just bumping it up the thread list again :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/112937-join-the-secret-battle-of-london-in-a-free-game-that-gets-you-moving/#findComment-1128548 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdk Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hi Sue, this is a very global game - sorry if I gave the impression that this is London only - just wanted to give some focus. In fact, there are loads of events organised all around the world that people travel to. The game encourages exploring, whether it is your street or your town or the world! https://ingress.com/eventsThe game can be played very local but can get MASSIVE :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/112937-join-the-secret-battle-of-london-in-a-free-game-that-gets-you-moving/#findComment-1128756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
