Luckless Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I was looking through the Wherigo forums down at the bottom of the page yesterday trying to figure out what it was. Can't quite figure it out. Sounds like it is more fantasy role playing and not so much emphasis on enjoying the wonders of the nature. Quote Link to comment

Can't quite figure it out. Sounds like it is more fantasy role playing and not so much emphasis on enjoying the wonders of the nature. Oh but it can be. Instead of the fantasy type "stories" that are there - picture a walking tour of historic buildings with a "host" character leading the way. Or a botanist tour of a local nature area leading you to examples of different plants and describing them. Or a slowly revealed puzzle to a final cache location as you follow the directions onscreen. - Wherigo can do all of those. Quote Link to comment

I can see how something like Wherigo might be interesting to use. Would the players be able to make these stories up or would they be purchased premade stories? And if we can make up our own stories should we worry about Vinny getting this technology? Edited January 11, 2008 by Luckless Quote Link to comment

+TrailGators Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Okay, I have been doing research for a "tour" multicache. I can see how something like Wherigo might be interesting to use. Would the players be able to make these stories up or would they be purchased premade stories? From what I understand they could be both. They could even rent out a PocketPC or Colorado GPS to do it. I think it has a lot of potential. Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 There have been various attempts at doing location-based gaming. We think that ours is the most versatile. I don't know the reference to Vinny. Quote Link to comment

I don't know the reference to Vinny. Guess I'm just pondering what vinny might come up with if the psycho urban caches were to go interactive. Quote Link to comment
