Ingress is an augmented-reality massively multiplayer online location-based game developed by Niantic, originally part of Google. The game was first released exclusively for Android devices on November 15, 2012, and was made available for Apple's iOS on July 14, 2014. The game has a science fiction back story with a continuous open narrative. Ingress was also considered to be a location-based exergame.
Unlike many other MMOGs, the competition in Ingress is primarily between the two opposing factions (teams) rather than between individual players, and players never interact directly in the game or suffer any kind of damage other than temporarily running out of XM (the power that fuels all actions except movement and communication). The gameplay consists of capturing "portals" at places of cultural significance, such as public art, landmarks, monuments, etc., and linking them to create virtual triangular "control fields" over geographical areas. Progress in the game is measured by the number of "mind units" (MUs) captured via such control fields, i.e. people nominally controlled by each faction (as illustrated on the Intel Map). The necessary links between portals may range in length from meters to kilometers or hundreds of kilometers, created in operations of considerable logistical complexity. International links and fields are not uncommon, as Ingress attracted an enthusiastic following in cities worldwide amongst both young and old, to the extent that the gameplay is itself a lifestyle for some, including tattoos. Gameplay relies heavily on the player physically moving about the community in order to interact with portals. Playing in a vehicle is possible, but increases in speed disable some features of the game. This is done to encourage physical activity and safe driving, and also discourages GPS spoofing.
In addition to the main interactive map, called the Scanner, players also have access to a "COMM" tab that displays local and regional, even worldwide, live activity going on within the game, such as faction progress and activity, in-game communication, and alerts.
Each player, or "Agent", also has a profile page that is viewable by any other agent using the mobile app. Profiles contain a wide variety of information, including the agent's name, current level and AP (Action Points), earned badges, completed missions, and a long list of statistics. Players can choose to withhold most of the statistical information from appearing on their page, instead leaving visible only their badges, AP and mission list. Also available on the profile page, if the agent so decides, is a link to their Google+ page.
