Google Maps Uses Creativity and Film to Spice Up the UK Lockdown

It’s official: the UK is going into another lockdown. And Google is here to try and brighten it up this time around! In an incredibly creative turn, the company that brought us the Pokemon scavenger hunt in Google Maps is introducing “Google Pixel presents Mobile Cinema”, a cinematic scavenger hunt across the map of the UK. Google Maps has planted more than 40 British movie titles in its interface to send fans on a “virtual movie hunt”, and will drop clues of where to locate the films—which include Skyfall, Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Shaun of the Dead, and Phantom Thread—this month ahead of the hunt. Once you find the movies, participants can watch the films wherever they are!
