A poker run is an organized event where participants, usually using motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, horses, or other means of transportation must visit five checkpoints, drawing a playing card at each one. The object is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. The event has a time limit, however the participants are not timed—winning is purely a matter of chance.
The PokerRun game for iPhone is played similarly to a Poker Run, except that virtual cards are dealt automatically to your phone when you reach a designated checkpoint. At the end of the game, all of the hands will be scored and sorted by highest ranking category.
Game play consists of the following steps:
1) Game Maker creates a game.
2) Game Maker invites players.
3) Players install app and load game.
4) Players meet at the designated start location on the start date and time.
5) A card is automatically dealt to a player when the player is within 100 feet of a designated location.
6) At the designated end time, all card hands will be revealed to each player and sorted by highest ranking category.
Please Note:
During game time, this app will use the GPS in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
