Nokia Chooses Ghostly Phone Game

Nokia’s panel of experts has deliberated and ruminated on the subject of innovative mobile gaming and decided to award the top prize in the Mobile Games Innovation Challenge to Ghostwire.


Ghostwire is a ‘casual collection’ game that uses your phone’s camera to create a kind of Augmented Reality effect. You roam around the real world and use your phone to ’see’ ghosts that you can then collect in a sort of Ghostbusters-meets-Pokémon affair. Some ghosts will set riddles, others will provide clues and have elaborate back stories that must be unraveled.

Swedish developer A Different Game receives €40,000 in prize money. The runners up were Rhythm/Action game Jadestone and conspiracy ARG Eclipse.
