Gbanga is a geolocation-based social gaming platform for mobile phones developed by Zurich-based startup, Millform AG.
Players can interact with each other using built-in social and chat functions, which indicate their current real-world locations as well as online and offline status.
The game encouraged players to maintain virtual habitats across the Canton of Zurich in order to attract and collect endangered species of animals.
Players solved puzzles to find the real-world locations of virtual gifts scattered around the city.
Apparently, Millform AG, the company behind Gbanga decided to use crowd-funding for financing the project to be more independent from traditional publishers.
In a mixed-real manhunt, several thousand participants equipped with a GPS app were running in the streets of Zurich to avoid the hunter, a sponsored car.
