Participate in a Global Game of Intrigue

Designed for the iPad and iPhone, Ingress is a free immersive Augmented Reality (AR) game produced by Niantic Labs, a division of Google. The story setup is that the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has discovered a new form of matter called Exotic Matter (XM, for short). XM, which has the power to control human thought, is constantly leaking into our world via various portals. The world is divided into two factions over who should control these XM portals, and it is up to the player to choose a side and help that side achieve victory. The game incorporates real-world locations and landmarks as portals usinggeo-location-based AR, in combination with an arsenal of tools to hack and take over portals, and a constant stream of social interaction.
