A recent study by the London School of Economics suggests that playing location-based games may help reduce mild depression in users, due to the encouragement of physical activity, real life interactions with other people and exposure to nature, factors contributing positively to mental health, and lacking to a degree in modern life and recent lifestyle trends.
This is a main reason why at Outscape Games we believe that making high quality location based games (such as Drake’s Secret, The Wren Code and Flag Masters) more popular and mainstream is a great cause, and makes us passionate to keep improving our games and make them available to as many places as possible!
