Travel Game: Google Earth is your gameboard

Travel Game, introduced at Google I/O 2011, is the first online social game using Google Earth as its gameboard, offering players real travel rewards and experiences. Conceived by Jeff Katz, former CEO of Orbitz, the game is currently in beta testing and features titles like Touristo and Skydiver, allowing users to virtually explore and interact with exotic locales through Google Earth's 3D globe. The game utilizes a custom framework that integrates multiple Google APIs, including Google Earth and Maps, enhancing gameplay with high-quality animations and sound. Players can interact socially by sharing achievements on Facebook, sending gifts, and inviting friends to join for group rewards. Designed by a team of travel and gaming experts, Travel Game aims to blend online exploration with real-world experiences, with plans for further development and community building.
