The outside video game that merges an app on your phone with the real world.

Geo caching meets competitive racing meets Easter egg hunt. GeoPopper allows players to play video games that merge the actual physical environment with their mobile devices. Players create arenas in places like parks, determine the location and number of balloons, and then run, walk, sprint, meander to the location of balloons to pop them. GeoPopper uses your phone’s GPS to determine your proximity to a balloon. Once you are close enough to a balloon, the balloon will pop.

Create arenas around the world (note if you create an arena in Spain, you will have to go to Spain to play. So maybe creating arenas at a nearby park is a good start...unless youre in Spain in which case, carry on!).

Play by yourself in solo mode and see how quickly you can pop all of the balloons in the arena.

Play against friends in group mode and see who can pop the most balloons.

Share your best arenas with your friends. If enough people like your arena, your arena will be viewed by the world.

Arena Builder

To create new arenas, tap the arena builder on the bottom of your screen. A map will appear and your current location will be showed by a blue dot. You create the location of where you are going to play and set up the arena by zooming into that location on the map.

Next you determine the number and location of balloons in your arena by dropping green pins. You drop these pins by touching the screen for 2 to 3 seconds or hitting the pin icon (note if you hit the pin icon, the pin will drop in your current location).
After you have 3+ green pins placed you will name your arena. You can view the new arena by going to GROUP or SOLO. It will appear in the my arenas tab at the top left, symbolized by a red balloon. If there is more than one arena in an area, there will be a bunch of balloons. Zoom in to see the individual arenas.

Solo Play

Choose an arena and try to pop all the balloons as fast as you can by moving to the location of the balloons on the map. Your location will be shown as a blue dot.

Group Play

Choose an arena, invite Facebook friends, and try to pop more balloons than they can.

Arena and Game Safety

You’re not on your couch playing a game, you’re interacting with the real world. That means you have to use more caution when playing this game. Arenas are created by users like you, but the real world changes. If an Arena contains dangerous locations or if conditions change, it could make a previously safe arena unsafe.

Use common sense when playing: Call it a day if there is an alligator, crocodile, unsavory character or anything you do not feel comfortable with near a balloon.

Use caution and think about unique environmental factors that could possibly make your arena unsafe. Do not create arenas near cliffs, bodies of waters, etc. Don’t build Arenas that require a user to cross a road. Roads are dangerous and require your full attention when crossing.

Some arenas might be safe in the summer but hazardous in the winter. Think about this before playing and creating arenas. An arena that is safe during the daytime, might be dangerous at night.

GPS accuracy in mobile devices is not very good – we’re limited to the hardware we’re using and the best we can get is within about 10 meters accuracy (and sometimes that even seems like a stretch!). That means you may be trying to get to a balloon to pop but your dot isn’t in the right spot. Be aware of your surroundings – if a balloon isn’t safe to get to, don’t pop it!
