I did the following:
- Designed and developed the iPhone website for the project
- Compressed two of the three videos to be compatible with the iPhone video player
- Created riddles for two locations
Considering I was originally going to do something a lot more ambitious, then switched halfway through to work with Ben and Laura (not really my choice) and still came up with a pretty cool iPhone site, I'd say I deserve an A, if only because I know it's going to be mixed in with your own tally.

Locative Role-Playing Game
A locative role-playing game works very similarly to current console games of the Role-Playing genre, except that the game's world map is, in fact, a real-world location. Because of this critical difference, an entire new level of interaction will be integrated into the core mechanics of the game.
A player will be tracked by the system in real-time by GPS, which will simultaneously move them in the game world and the physical world. There will be a geocache for each item players can find and input codes for--the system will keep track of who is in possession of each item, and each item will give the player's character enhanced in-game abilities or add special effects.
If players are within a certain proximity of each other, they may choose to "battle" each other, in which case they will play a more active version of the traditional turn-based battle system, which will also prompt that the players interact with the real-world environment as part of the battle.
There will also be computer-controlled 'monsters' which will be presented at random in certain regions of the playing field space, which will be encountered much the same way a player encounters other real players.
A basic story can be implemented to add interest, which will be similar to the way stories are presented in most MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Games).
