Peer Me Up's Pokémon GO Day

Join Peer Me Up in a playing the virtual reality game Pokémon GO!

What is Pokémon GO?

The game, Pokémon GO, allows for people to travel between the real world & the virtual world of Pokémon. Pokémon GO gives players the opportunity to explore real locations & search for Pokémon.

As you move around the places where you will visit, your device will vibrate to let you know when you're near a Pokémon.
