Shadow Cities was an early location-based mobile game, created by the Finland company Grey Area. The game took place in a "parallel world", using the player's physical GPS location on an in-game map, battling other nearby players.[1] The game was exclusively available for iPhone devices.
Development started in 2008, only a year after the first iPhone was released, with $2.5 million of venture capital funding.[2][3] The game was initially launched on 10 November 2010 in Finland,[2] expanding to North America and 13 European countries in 2011.[4] However, Grey Area shut down the game on 7 October 2013.[5]
