Boost, a subsidiary of Sprint Nextel, in partnership with Loopt, just released an LBS game called Connect with the Dots. The premise is that users (users must be within 50 miles of New York City) who download the loopt application and register for the game will receive an invitation to a new location every day. Users must use their Boost handset with GPS to find the location of a boost/loopt friend and rush to their location to win a prize.
This sounds like friend finder meets scavenger hunt. The game/contest runs from today through the end of the year. Prizes will range in value from $25 - $250, and include jewelery, sporting goods, tickets, etc.
loopt is a ca based start up that calls their friend finder application "social mapping".
