The Gauntlet is a new platform for creating and sharing location-based, user generated, challenges within social networks. Players can create and share challenges online, and complete them in real-life settings individually or collaboratively.
The Gauntlet aims to encourage players to participate in activities and challenges in their community. These challenges (all user generated) span various themes and have an underlying focus of improving communities (from neighborhood citizenship to environmental sustainable practices), while making real-world settings more interesting.
The Gauntlet is a reasearch project created and developed by Daniel Hawkins, Maoyang Li, Dr. Carman Neustaedter, and Clarissa Ishak at the Connections Lab http://clab.iat.sfu.ca at Simon Fraser University, Canada.
