All great problems start with a pain point. They're expressed different ways: "I can't stand it when...", "It's a problem every time...", "It stops me from XXXX, every time". One of my pain points has always been, finding my game at a convention.
It could be GenCon with 610,00 people.
Or
It could be a smaller local convention, 300 people.
No matter the size of the convention, it's just not always easy to find where the game you signed up for is being played. And since you know you have a small window of time to get there, getting lost isn't an option.
Boy have I been there!
That's why we added "Find My Game" to Game Rustlers. On your phone, go to the site, scroll down to your list of games where you have reservations, press FIND MY GAME, and voila, a Google Maps window appears showing the exact path from where you're standing to the location of the table.
This is also handy when you're going to a publishers game demo table. Sometimes it's at their booth, and sometimes it's in the open gaming... or someplace else. No matter which room it's in, if the host of the game has set the location, Game Rustlers can help you find it.
Here's a sample map:
If you click the blue destination marker, not now, you'll get the day and time stamp you see here. Also, when the map is created, it adds the name of the game to the title.
I have to tell you, that looks like a long walk.
This great new feature is available right now. I kid you not, I mean it's live and working.
If you get lost along the way, you can always press that FIND MY GAME button again and it will make a new map.
Not that you have any problem asking for directions...
