Pokémon Go was a sensation when it first launched, and for many people it may have been their first brush with the idea that the GPS locator in their phone could be used for gaming. For those not in the know, you wander around the real world collecting Pokémon you encounter. Using AR, you can throw Poké Balls at them as if in real life. You'll receive a variety of rewards for collecting and going out on long walks.
That's what the best location-based games on mobile do - help you get out in the real world and have fun. Niantic was operating in this space well before it got the Pokémon license, and tonnes of great similar games have popped up too in recent years also.
So, if, for whatever reason, you're not into collecting hundreds of digital monsters, we've compiled a list of alternatives that offer much of the same experience. They'll all use GPS to encourage you to go for lovely walks and likely use the power of AR to bring content to life on your phone. Please make sure you follow your local COVID-19 guidelines and play responsibly if you choose to head out into the world with any of the following titles!
