What if there was an app type of game where instead of just getting points for going places and killing monsters, you go to places to kill monsters and get bitcoins?

But the "monsters" and locations would be different based upon your demographic/interests. And people could incentivize a certain type of person to go to certain locations.

The app could also access your personal information such as age, gender, hobbies, finances, etc.

Imagine you're a Jeep dealership and you're having a huge Jeep sale. You drop some bitcoins right smack dab in middle of your dealership and let the app summon 20-40 year olds that are into outdoors/Jeeps.

Or a nightclub instead of ladies night putting some bitcoins inside the club to attract 21-25 y/o females. Even some rich guy could drop some near him to get the ladies to come over.

A strip club that puts some bitcoins attracting males with good finances to come in.

There could be some sort of beacon that draws people toward the place which might be brighter for more bitcoins, beep faster as you get closer. Maybe have it take a little while to "mine" the bitcoins in the location so you're apt to stick around a bit (and do some shopping/browsing).

I think this isn't a bad idea. People love free money. In order for it to become actually viable with the types of people you're talking about (clubs, dealerships, people selling things) then bitcoin would have to become a large bit more popular and accessible. As easy and fun as bitcoin actually is, a lot of people still just consider it "for hackers". Nevertheless, I think your idea isn't too bad.

If you look at it the other way, then I would say that a game like this could probably get more people into Bitcoin. If you manage to make the game itself fun, it's not like it's extremely hard to get into Bitcoin.

Rewarding real money for games will end as same as most game economies end; with very low prices and rewards that could not be profitable for most people.

Example: Blizzard games like World of warcraft, Diablo 3, Second life.

Maybe I didn't read the OP carefully, but how does this game plan to earn profit for its creators?

A few options:
Business/person drops 1 bitcoin, game company puts .95 bitcoins out for people to grab (keeps 5%).
In order to get the bitcoins you have to wait while a video plays (advertisement).
Charge for the app.
Usual pop-up ads.

This "pokemon go" thing is a goddamn madness. I can't stop playing it. I even play while i drive. I collect pokeballs and even catch pokemons while i drive my car. Complete madness.

Sad thing is, you can't oversuccess (can't even come close) pokemon by replicating another shitty app which use bitcoins. You may only have a chance if you somehow offer "sex" to your users. pokemon is downloaded more than tinder did in 5 years btw.

Pokemon is magic.

You do it in the car? We are all doomed, Pokemon Go zombies are everywhere.

In regards to crypto it would be amazing if I crypto could integrate with something like this and it would be even better if it would be Bitcoin.

Considering that Google invested 25 million dollars into Pokemon GO and the creator also helped create Google maps, you're gonna have to spend a lot of money getting a team that could create that game.

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.

One world One currency, Bitcoin.

well i think you should try with a beta version and see the response i am sure there will be money hungry gamer if you give those payouts on game but you can control them by giving vouchers instead of btc in your game which can only be redeemed in your site. just a part of concept from dragon tail just to get a little security.

It'd be a cool idea but I guess the money ruins the fun and it'll be filled with loser desperate for a few cents. I think it would be best to just leave the game and not make any shitty knock offs.

The idea itself is great, don't get me wrong. But if it's for money, at a point it'll stop being a game and more of an activity just for money.

Well, there were other GPS games before Pokemon Go. I played Ingress for a while.

I agree about the money aspect. It would be as annoying as the signature posters of bitcointalk but in RL. But at least people will be able to get RL people to show up places.
