The igfest Tech Pavilion

Supported by BlueVia and the Pervasive Media Studio

This year at igfest we are paying special attention to the new breed of games and apps that the age of the smartphone has enabled. We have more than 15 free apps for you to download and try when you get here and we even have some phones we can loan you if you're curious but don’t own a smartphone.
Some of our featured apps are

Gigaputt

With Gigaputt you can use your iPhone to play a round of golf right through the city. Just swing your iPhone and drive a virtual golf ball across a Google map toward 18 virtual holes.

Seek ‘n Spell

Seek ’n Spell uses your GPS to create a new type of game. The object is to gather virtual letters and create words.

Turf Wars

Turf Wars is a GPS enabled, massively multiplayer online game where you claim and defend real-world territory from other mobsters.

Hali

Hali makes your iPhone a Heads Up Display (HUD) while playing a team Hide and Seek game outside, showing the location of teammates and opponents!

Spy Hunt

Spy Hunt is an exciting, fast-paced action game, coming to the streets near you. All you need to play is your phone!
