A location-based game is one in which the game play somehow involves a player's location. Thus, location-based games are supported by some kind of localization technology, for example by using satellite positioning like GPS. The most prominent example with a large community is the single-player game Geocaching, a kind of treasure hunt which is usually played using hand-held GPS receivers.
Several location-based games are issue of current research, e.g. Pac-Manhattan, where players play a real live version of Pacman. These games usually only last for a certain amount of time, rarely running continuously, and they usually require more people to organize together.
