Ingress - a game in reality

Ingress - a game in reality

Niantic Labs has prepared a new, completely different game for Android devices that minimizes the boundaries between the virtual and the real world.

The game is designed to "make" players go around the city in search of mystical energy. In the beginning, you can join one of the two Alliances - one that wants power and the other as a resistance movement. Your task is to collect as much mystical energy as possible and open "portals" located in some creative places such as museums and galleries. When three portals merge, a region or solid territory is formed.

So, the game will not keep you in an armchair for hours at home, but you will have to travel around the city in search of energy and portals. Along the way, you will meet members of your team but also opponents. You have to be faster than your opponent to gather as much energy as possible and open as many portals as possible.

Ingress - a game in reality

The Ingress team claims that the game will make people go out and socialize more, and still entertain them. The whole idea was started by John Hanke - a man who is closely connected to Google Earth, Google Maps, and StreetView.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
