Building a location-based game that captures Taiwan's absurd convenience store density[1]

The premise: stand at any 7-11/FamilyMart/etc, take a photo showing you can see the next store, walk to it, repeat. Chain as many stores together as you can. It sounds silly but Taiwan really is this convenient - you often can see 2-3 stores from one spot. Here[2] one route where you can actually link 7 convenience stores in a row!

This is actually the first game built on our upcoming platform for creating branded games. Figured the best way to test the concept was to make something fun first!
