Examples
The pervasive game Can You See Me Now? pitches group of players navigating real world environments against individual ones that move their avatars on a game map of the real world environment. Through GPS devices the locations of the first group is positioned on the map and the group can use this to catch the individual players by coming close to their avatars.
Uncle Roy All Around You is a co-operative game where a player navigating the real world can team up with one navigating a virtual one to complete tasks.
