With Pokémon Go fever sweeping the city, here is what you need to know about the growing phenomenon:
What exactly is the game?
The company’s first mobile game was released - for free - last week. It
can be uploaded to iPhones and Androids and is a wacky mix of virtual
reality and actual reality.
What’s the objective?
It’s both simple and addictive. Based on the line of Pokémon games released on Nintendo’s consoles, you must catch as many cute Pokémon creatures as possible. Once you have these cartoonish critters, you train and upgrade them - even feed them candy to make them strong.

How does Pokémon Go use the real world?
The game uses your phone’s GPS tracker to present you with a real-world map that includes locations of imaginary Pokémon and Pokémon gyms in your area.

How do you “catch” them?
You must find them in their real-world location, then trap the creatures on-screen by flicking Poké balls at them. This is not exactly what your mother meant when she said to stop playing video games and go outside to play.
