Looks like the campus tour was the popular choice amongst everyone! We too chose to play the campus tour one.  Kristin formerly worked for Campus and Visitor Relations with the UW's tour guides so we thought it would be interesting to see how the campus might be conveyed to someone differently than if they went on a real tour.

We weren't sure we would really refer to this as a "game" - it felt more like an assisted audio tour you might go on at a museum or something.  The thing that was really cool though was how this was interwoven with the GPS function so the information was relevant only to the specific location we were at, rather than trying not to follow behind the audio while touring a museum.  Looking back we wished we had maybe picked a different "game" because we're all pretty familiar with campus and this point and don't feel like we learned anything much different from what we already knew!

In the end we all agreed we'd rather go on a tour with a real student that we could interact with, but nonetheless it was a cool experience and unique alternative.  Perhaps when visitors arrive late to tours, the UW could have something like this to direct them around campus rather than sending them off with informational pamphlet, a map, and some "good luck" that they don't get lost!
