DOT is a mobile app game – played in the physical world! The world is your game board and you are a dot moving around. DOT is not played as any other mobile game, but is played in real life! The game technology is based on GPS information from your mobile phone and as a DOT player, you have to move around physically to be part of the game. DOT resembles the classic game of tag, but combines the well-known game mechanics with elements of geocaching, live-action-gaming and urban exploration. DOT can be played in familiar surroundings by a small group, or on a massive scale encompassing your whole city. In the game you are a coloured DOT. On your phone you will be able to see the proximity and direction of your fellow DOT players. You must catch and absorb the colour from dots in other colors by using your DOT Boost. The aim is to catch as many DOTs as possible without getting your own colour absorbed by another player. For more exemplified game rules and how and where to play got to goplaydot.com GoPlayDOT
