TAG: The Mobile Assassination Game, inspired by the 1982 cult movie Tag, lives within the crosshairs of social-gaming, location-based services, and good ol' competitiveness. A unique combination of offline gaming and cutting edge mobile technology, Players track the location of their assigned Target to get close enough to snap a camera photo or "TAGShot."

Game Host-approved TAGShots eliminate the "tagged" Player from the game, and their Target is reassigned. Each player’s strategy is informed by the game’s complete integration with social networking and location-based services like foursquare and facebook. TAGShots can also be shared via Twitter and facebook for bragging rights!

Game play options are endless! Bring conference attendees together, team-building for your company, orient to your college environment, or just play for fun with your friends!
