The game posed the potential of a variety of positive outcomes to the general populous playing it, including getting people outdoors, combating obesity, human interaction and meeting new people, venturing out and visiting monuments, memorials, and various other places of special interest, etc. Unfortunately, negative repercussions followed the release as well.
