Venari – The Real-World GPS Chase Game
A downloadable game
🌍 What is Venari?
Venari is a real-world GPS chase game inspired by the classic "Mister X" concept — designed for youth groups, school events, or outdoor game lovers.
One player becomes the Venari, a mysterious fugitive trying to escape. The others become agents, working together in teams to track them down using real-time GPS data.
The game takes place in real environments — cities, parks, campuses — turning everyday spaces into thrilling arenas of strategy and movement.

Venari is:
-
Open for free use in education, youth work, and leisure.
-
Actively maintained and developed based on community feedback.
-
Entirely non-commercial, built out of love for creative games and group dynamics.
