I wanted to do a KGB vs. CIA game for mobile. You choose a side, get assigned a code name. Then various assignments come your way requiring you to go to specific GPS locations not too far from you (dead drops) where you get instructions for the next mission.

As you complete these tasks, in time you advance to assassin-level where you are sent to target and "kill" other players of the game. (Just getting within some near GPS distance of them and touching the "trigger" button in the game.)

(I assume each player can geofence an area where they are "unassailable" — home, work? But, otherwise, yeah, someone could be stalking you through a grocery store to make a hit. Victim is sent a notification they are out of the game.)

It's a game though without legs though until you have enough people playing to make the assassin stage possible.

(Yes, based on the popular college game "Assassin" played IRL with rubber dart guns and dossiers on your targets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin_(game))

For someone who likes people watching in general, this feels like taking that to a whole other level and adding purpose, and I'd definitely try this out if available.

Why you say "I wanted to" and not "I'm thinking about doing" so I don't completely lose hope? :)

Yeah, there are a lot of challenges.

I can already picture people having to explain to the police they were playing a mobile game, and totally were not up to something more nefarious.

Sounds like a fun idea.

Most people are on their phones most of the time. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if you had to explain why you weren't on your phone.

It's more about stalking strangers, less about using a phone to do it

I can see players already using fake GPS to bypass the walking requirement, at least same thing happens with others GPS games
