It is available on Android as well as iPhone and, in my mind, continues to be the deepest and most innovative game in the GPS roleplaying genre. If you haven't played it since the first or second version, it has evolved greatly. You should definitely check it out again =) Parallel Kingdom has over 100,000 players and is on its third version (Age of Emergence).

If anything, it seems more suited to those with kids, to encourage a little out-and-about time whilst still whetting the little monsters' insatiable appetites for technology. good games

Key differences being that a geocache is real and contains real items, and there is an element of interaction with real people as you trade real objects. Also, I'd much rather seek out a geocache in a location that a sentient human found to be appropriate and interesting. Seeking out virtual treasures in locations selected at random by software programs seems like it could lead you into some questionable places. I'm just picturing myself some evening in a really rough neghborhood under the railroad tracks, wandering through some neglected city park while staring down at my iPhone as it leads me to some imaginary treasure. ...But hey, maybe you could meet new friends that way.
