Persuasive Games founder Ian Bogost writes in with word that Jetset: A Game for Airports ($4.99) is now available in the iTunes App Store. Billed as “a mobile game for business travelers,” Jetset challenges players to live a day in the life of an airport security agent.
Gameplay involves carefully balancing speed and alertness, as you’ll need to search baggage for evidence of potential terrorism while making sure that all passengers pass through the security checkpoint quickly. The game promises 100 different levels based on real-world airports, collectible souvenir items, and the ability to “strip search travelers for fun.” Excellent!
Particularly interesting is a feature that automatically selects the airport nearest to your geographic location, allowing for the possibility of playing a game about airport security…while waiting in a level’s real-world airport security line. The game promises to be just as fun as waiting in line, luckily, so there’s a lot of potential stress relief for frustrated travelers to be found here.
do you have an idea why certain countries (such as .hu) do not list certain games (like jetset or dancedancerevolution s lite) in their repertoire?
