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.
