Gbanga teams up with Spocal

Gbanga is excited to announce a collaboration with Spocal to launch the Gbanga Spocal Quest, to be played out in the Mafia-themed game,Gbanga Famiglia. Gbanga Famiglia is a location-based game for mobile phones, which allows players to compete over real-world territory and establishments, anywhere in the world. Players can also complete special quests that further blend the boundaries between real and digital worlds, such as delivering virtual Mafia cash to the locations of real-world banks.

Swiss App Award nominee, Spocal, is a social platform that gives students a space to discuss, chat and share their thoughts with fellow students. Spocal will be adding a healthy mix of friendly rivalry to the Gbanga Spocal Quest, which is a real-world 'capture the flag' game between the two main Zurich institutes of education: the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), and the University of Zurich. ETH and University of Zurich students—and all Gbanga Famiglia players—will be competing over virtual territory that is linked to the real-world locations of each university. Players can interact and takeover rival territories by walking between locations while playing Gbanga Famiglia on a mobile phone.

To participate in the Gbanga Spocal Quest, download Gbanga Famiglia (available FREE for iPhone, iPad and iPod) and join one of the two families: DonETH or DonUniZH. Once a member of either Famiglia, you must physically visit rival university campuses to take-over and defend locations virtually while playing Gbanga.

The Gbanga Spocal Quest will be available to player between June 20th and July 10th - 2012.
