  • Patent number: 6320495
    Abstract: A treasure hunt type game that utilizes global positioning satellite (“GPS”) equipped wireless communications devices. Players are given clues or directions to proceed along one of many predetermined treasure hunt routes based on their location as determined by the GPS. Based on these clues or directions, players change their locations. Based on these changed locations, as determined by the GPS, additional clues or directions are given to the players until one of the players completes the treasure hunt route and arrives at the treasure to win the game. The game also incorporates other variables in determining the clues to provide to players, such as the location of other players as determined by their GPS devices, the previous locations of the player and other players and whether the player has correctly solved certain clues.
