On the other hand, people playing Pokemon GO trespassed private property and protected spaces, so I wonder how far would the players of this game go just to make a pic of a "legendary" animal at the border of extinction.
They also have an app called Seek that I think is more aimed at kids, but it comes with trophies and streaks and stuff like that.
