Ingress Prime
Description
A location-based videogame for iOS and Android mobile devices. It displays a map of the world scattered with nodes that represent the location of virtual "portals". Players compete to control these portals by travelling to their physical location, tracked by GPS. Many of the locations that Ingress uses as portals are cultural sites and monuments, some of which have been at cemeteries. Initially released in 2013 as "Ingress", and re-launched with new features in 2017 as "Ingress Prime".
