Hide and Go Find My Friends

Are you looking for a new drinking game? Would you like it to incorporate the latest tech gadget or app you just spent too much money on?

Well, if you're one of the hundreds of people who purchased the iPhone 4S, or are one of the thousand-some-odd people who have iOS 5, then you're in luck, there's an app for that!

Find My Friends

Find My Friends allows you to search for you friends, which have allowed you to do so, with the simple tap.

How It Works

What happens when you want to locate your friends is the Apple Faerie™ within your iPhone mounts its unicorn and speeds off on a rainbow interwebs magic to your friends' iPhone. The Faerie™ returns as swiftly as their little unicorn's wings can move them to display a point on a map locating your friends who have Find My Friends turned on.

Neat, huh?

One note, this is NOT a live tracking system. That is, you can't watch your friend move around in real-time. You just get a quick snapshot of where that person is at that particular moment when you checked. This, presumably, is to help save the life force of the Faerie™ and steed becuase real-time tracking would require a constant connection, which would run them into the ground but quick.

Now, enough of that technical jargon, here's where the fun really begins. The drinking game.

Hide and Go Find My Friends 

1. Get a group of friends together, you know, the "good" ones who've purchased Apple devices.
2. Choose the boundries for your game (e.g. downtown, a particular neighborhood, whatever).
3. Make sure everyone has friended one another in Find My Friends.
4. Rock, Paper, Scisors (or whatever) to see who is "IT" first.
5. IT will then leave.
6. After a ten minute head start, IT will turn on visibility in Find My Friends, group text everyone "Game On" and start IT's stopwatch.
7. The rest of the group will attempt to locate IT. The first person to find and tag him/her is then IT.
8. Everyone comes back together and return to step 5.

Repeat this process until someone has been it for a set amount of time (e.g. 30 minutes), at which point that person is declared "winner" and gets all his/her drinks free.

Of course, this is just a rough idea for a game, and there are surely countless modifications one can make, like playing AFTER you're drunk...

Regardless, have fun killing your liver! And just think, after you've had all your fun and when the cirrhosis has crippled you maybe you can sue Apple 'cos it was them who made you drink in the first place.
