In Uncle Roy All Around You, a player has just one hour to find the Uncle Roy of the game's title using clues or instructions fed via text messaging. But with every move tracked via a GPS locator in his cell phone, other players in the game have the ability to track and hunt him down. Meanwhile, a group of performance artists shadow the player in an attempt to interact and manipulate the quest. Sounds interesting, right?Well, ok. I concede it's only slightly new. I have seen accounts of things like this before, (in Sweden I believe) but they're not one of those things you get going every day. I guess the whole thing does have some problems, like finding people to play, or unforeseen logistics issues, but I'd love to play in a game like this if one comes to town.
