Google Maps turned into a game

Google Inc. decided to add a gaming component to Google Maps. Based on this service, an experimental browser-based toy (optimized for Chrome) was created, called the Google Cube. In the toy there is a main character, a ball that needs to be held in certain locations to the target.



There are eight levels in total, these are Manhattan, San Francisco, Paris, London, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Mall of America plus a level representing the “vinaigrette” from cities and regions. In order to bring the ball to a certain place, you just need to hold the cursor on the streets of cities. After passing each new level, the player gets an interesting fact about the Google Maps service.

Google Cube can be used both as a simple toy and as an interactive guide for using the Google Maps service. With each new level, more and more options are opening up that are functions of Google Maps. These are restaurant ratings, bike lanes, check-ins and more.



You can find a toy from this link . After downloading all the components, BSOD appeared, so I could not test the toy. Perhaps I have such problems only, so I wish to spend time with interest in this game. Well, or get more info on google maps.
