Google's mobile game Ingress enables 7M players to create user-generated missions

Google’s Ingress augmented reality mobile game has been downloaded by more than 7 million people in the past year. Now those players can create their own missions in the game that other people can enjoy.

The launch of these user-generated missions could lead to much more content for Ingress, which is a sci-fi game where two factions battle each other in a fanciful landscape that is layered on the real world. But these missions could also get people walking around cities looking for well-known or little-known landmarks, akin to a scavenger hunt. It’s another feature that could keep the number of players for Ingress growing even though the game is more than a year old.
