“Since Foursquare the gaming industry has been aware of the big potential in games that add classic gameplay to the principles of Foursquare“, says investor Lars Kristiansen from Nordic Game Production, NoGap A/S.

Location based games also have a large potential in user-driven marketing since the check-in functions in Foursquare and Facebook Places easily can be used to let users tell their friends where they last played the game.

“When Facebook tells your friends that you’ve spray-painted your local public school in the game, they might get eager to do the same”, says game developer Bodie Jahn-Mulliner.

The creators behind the game ‘Hoods’ is a cooperation between the investors NoGap and the game developers Sybo Games, where former investors count Danish Film Institute and The Open Workshop. First prototype of the game is expected in app-store in April 2011.
