Rationale

Pokémon GO is a strong match for the Wonderwise concept. It is a mobile game that heavily relies on location-based gameplay, requiring users to explore the real world to find and catch Pokémon, which aligns with 'Location-Based Quests'. The game uses an interactive map for navigation to these locations, fulfilling 'Interactive Map Navigation'. Furthermore, it incorporates a system of earning points, badges (for catching Pokémon, completing tasks), and competing in Gym battles and Raid Battles, which functions as a 'Leaderboard & Rewards System'. While it doesn't explicitly offer 'themed-campaign-selection' in the same way Wonderwise describes specific travel circuits, the game does have various in-game events and research tasks that can be considered thematic challenges.
