La mosca is a publisher of location-based games started in 2006 in Belgium. Their games use mobile phones' GPS to incorporate a player's real location into game play. Players complete missions and interact with virtual objects and other players on an interactive map. A game server continuously updates each player's position and actions. La mosca's most popular game, The Target, is rented out to players in several European cities through game centers and other venues. The company aims to expand game distribution and offer permanent location-based games that can be played more flexibly.
