Gbanga is a location-aware massive multiplayer mobile game (LMMOG), often described as an alternative reality game (ARG) or trans-reality game (TRG).
By visiting any real-world location with their mobile phone, players accordingly move within Gbanga’s virtual world. They play, connect and share items and information on the move.
Gbanga is located in Zurich, Switzerland and was founded by Matthias, Julio and Werner. Since the initial idea in April 2007 the Gbanga grew up to 10 people.
In summer 2009, a successful pilot called Gbanga Zooh was performed where endangered animals (virtual) were spread across the city (physical locations) and the task was that they had to be saved and brought back to the zoological garden (in real).
Gbanga’s technology is applicable on an international basis and allows a new entertainment experience combined with unintrusive in-game advertizing. Patent pend. and brand reg.
