#204 Triangler
Triangler is a massive collaborative geometric outdoor mobile interactive game. Two teams of 100 players play a two-hour match in a city or rural area. The object of the game is to enclose enemy players with 2000-meter equilateral triangles formed by you and your team buddies. Using advanced location-based and presence services you can locate yourself, your team buddies and enemy players, learn about the availability-for-making-a-new-Triangle status of your buddies and publish your own status. Using advanced group voice and chat communications, you coordinate the Triangle formation with your team buddies. The more enemy players your team's Triangles enclose the more points your team scores. The team that scores most points wins. The value and fun of the game is in the competitive collaboration. Strategic planning of Triangler gathering points, tactical coordination of triplet formation and operational sharing of communication tasks all help to enhance your team's score.
