This Halloween season, Urban Interactive will haunt Boston's historic North End with the new ‘augmented reality’ game, Ghosts of Liberty. Combining elements of mobile gaming with theme-park style immersion and improvisational actors, this hair-raising experience will redefine "a night on the town" for adventurous Bostonians.

Players roam through the lamp-lit alleys of Boston's North End, following a trail of ghostly messages to track a mysterious enemy of the state. A cell phone weaves electronic gameplay and live action into the nocturnal ambiance, as participants race against the clock to solve riddles, discover hidden items, and interact with characters both real and digital."
