Exercise while you learn with iPhone's Seek 'n' Spell GPS game
Location-based leggin' it for letters
The government can try to pin the obesity and ill health of the nation on video games if it wants, but we know better. And now we have proof that puzzle games can be good for you (and even get you a tan, assuming you don't live up here in the North, where rainbows are seven shades of grey).
Seek 'n' Spell puts the iPhone's GPS to use, so you and your army of friends (real friends see - not Facebook cronies you sad, sad, tragic loser) can go to the swings where the game will overlay the location with letters scattered about the place.
It's then a mad dash to collect up as many letters as possible and - Countdown style - come up with the longest word possible to win. Educational, informational, sociable and ... exerciseationable.
Seek 'n' Spell's just been submitted for Apple's approval, and should be with us in the next week or two, so get some new laces for your running shoes, fatso. Check out the official site, while you're lacing 'em up.
The outdoors scare me...
