Parallel Kingdom: Explore Real World

Location-based massively multiplayer online game for mobile devices, combining virtual elements with physical locations

What is Parallel Kingdom?

Parallel Kingdom is a location-based massively multiplayer online game released in 2008 for mobile devices. It's considered one of the first major augmented reality games.

In Parallel Kingdom, players explore the real world using their phone's GPS to interact with a virtual world map overlaid on top of their physical location. As they move around in the real world, their avatar moves in the game world. They can see virtual creatures, resources, buildings, and other players in their immediate vicinity.

Key features of Parallel Kingdom include:

• Capturing virtual creatures and spirits
• Battling other players and computer enemies
• Building virtual structures that become part of the landscape
• Crafting weapons, potions, and other items from collected resources
• Trading items with other players
• Leaderboards and achievements

The game was praised for its innovative combination of real-world movement and location data with virtual gameplay. It spawned a wave of augmented reality games building on similar concepts. Parallel Kingdom itself shut down in 2015 after 7 years of operation.
