A free, once-a-day GPS territory game where players claim real-world places, build connected empires, and try to hold them against rivals.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The game verifies a player's position at an eligible city, town, or borough before allowing a daily territory claim. Connected holdings count toward the main score, while a territory held for three consecutive game days becomes fortified and cannot be stolen. The October 2026 New Jersey season includes Sunday as an off day and uses action cards that can grant an extra claim, freeze territory, block a rival, or reverse a steal.
