I really love the idea behind the Nintendo DS game, Treasure Hunter. The gist of which is that you use your DS to go out and collect WiFi signals:
[You] hunt for treasure by taking your DS out into the wild, where it can scan stars — stars here meaning the thousands of now-ubiquitous Wi-Fi signals that canvas and cloud every major metropolitan city. The DS catalogs every signal it runs across, and will, at times, also find its own special Treasure locked away in that star …
My man loves his DS, but he is a little young to go on a Treasure hunt. Hopefully these types of real world involving video games keep coming out. [via]
