Augmented reality (AR) games like Pokemon GO identified the inherent potential the technology has for getting users outside and active, so the 'Run an Empire' game has been positioned as a new title for gamers to enjoy.
The game works by having players walk, run or hike around their neighborhood to claim land as part of their own personal empire. This will enable players to get in shape and partake in an interactive workout to eliminate feelings of boredom that can come with simply walking or running for extended periods without stimulation.
The 'Run an Empire' AR game is engineered to not only favor those who can run fastest by also rewarding those who have strong determination to ensure it's accessible for users of all kinds.
