The Drop. A new multiplayer pervasive game

thedrop.gif The Drop is a new multiplayer pervasive game, designed to be compelling to play and yet practical to deploy in real-world settings. [via networked performance and pasta and vinegar]

"In The Drop, two teams use mobile phones to play a version of “capture the flag,” where one team hides a virtual “briefcase” in a public place and the other team attempts to find it within a specified amount of time.

If the team that is searching for the briefcase finds it within the game's time limit, they win; otherwise, the team that hid the briefcase wins".
