The Tap Lab has announced that they have raised $550,000 from investors that include Harmonix founders Alex Rigopoulos and Eran Ergozy, and Google developer advocate Don Dodge. The company will create location-based mobile games using the resources, expanding out from its current five employees while working on TapCity 2.
“We believe there is so much more to location-based gaming beyond the check-in. There is an enormous opportunity to create games that invite players to compete and collaborate in the real world,” said founder Dave Bisceglia. “We are diving deeper by categorizing bars, restaurants, clubs and other places. We stylized a virtual venue and give players jobs based on what that place is.”
