Ingress. I was obsessed with it. Couldn't stop playing.
Same. I rocked that game for a year before Pokemon Go came out. It was insanely addictive. I would walk like 3-5 miles a day and I'd take way too many breaks at work to go hit the portals by my office.
Family trips were awkward. I would make detours and hide the reason but just pointed out there was something awesome they should see.
I also took part in global ops where I met irl with other players to move keys.
When I think about it the real life component of that game is amazing.
I participated in a few anomalies, both as support and an on ground person hitting the objectives. Shit was rad, man. I met a couple cool people and even business contacts through it.
