MadPea has made an announcement about their coming game/hunt that starts February 1st. An interesting aspect of the game is Geo-Caching, commonly now written as: geocaching. In RL these games are taking advantage of the GPS in the new generation phones of the last couple of years. GPPS coordinates are used to hide and find ‘geocaches’, things hidden somewhere on the planet.
MadPea: Buried
MadPea is working out some way to have geocaching in Second Life. They will have an early opening for bloggers January 30th, a Friday. Not a good time for me. So, plan to check Inara’s blog. I am guessing she’ll make it to the RSVP event.
The announcement:
BURIED is set to bring geo-caching to SL as a brand new game concept
On 1st February MadPea Games will be releasing a brand new concept for in-world games and hunts….Buried.
MadPea has long been known for the range of innovative and immersive games and hunts that capture the imagination of Second Life residents across the grid and from all walks of life. BURIED is a mystery game that will take the player into the world of geocaching to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Lily. With twists and turns a plenty this isn’t just a hunt it’s a full on adventure with the SL resident at the very centre of the action.

BURIED has its own dedicated sim as a base for players with exciting new concepts in game development to see and explore. The sim is also ideal for bloggers and exploration outside of the game play and we’d love to give our press contacts, and bloggers, the opportunity to view the sim and game concept in advance of the start of the game.
We’re inviting you to attend a Press Walkthrough on Friday 30th January at 3pm slt. The sim is closed to the public until the 1st February so if you would like to attend it’s vital that you RSVP to Kess Crystal by 29th January 2015 to be added to the sim access list.
The interest in this hunt from vendors, and players, has been extraordinary and we’re looking forward to bringing you another epic MadPea Adventure.
If you would like more information about this topic, please contact Kess Crystal in-world or email kess@madpeagames.com.
I am hoping this new hunt will be as much fun as their previous hunt: Blood Letters. I enjoyed that hunt. But, I got busy and couldn’t find the time to finish it. Sad. I won’t have the time to be at the pre-opening event. I’ll make it to the game, but doubt I’ll get to finish it…
