What physical action do users perform with it/on it?
Run/ walk around with it.
How do they interact with it?
The players will run/walk around the set location, trying to sense a change in the frequency of the vibration.
How does it respond or feedback?
The frequency of the vibration increases as the player gets closer and closer to the treasure. However if the player goes beyond certain distance from the supervisor’s device, their device will beep continuously. 

Concrete Scenario of Use:
Before the game starts, the supervisor will attach a GPS marker on the object/s chosen to be the treasure and hide it. Then, the supervisor will hand each player/ team an iPhone or any other device compatible to play the game. When all this is completed, the supervisor will blow a whistle indicating the start of the game. The players/ teams will run/walk around the location searching for the treasure. At first, the device will produce a consistent, slow pattern of vibration. However as the player/team gets closer to the treasure, the rate (frequency) which the vibration occurs will increase. For safety concerns, when a player/ team goes beyond a certain distance from the supervisor, the alarm in their device will trigger producing constant beeping noise. The first player/ team to find the hidden treasure will win the game. When there are a large amount of players participating, there will be three treasures to determine first, second and third place based on the time in which they found the treasure.
