Retronyms has announced a new GPS-based word-building game for the iPhone, Seek-n-Spell. Players receive a large map, displaying both the real-world area around them and a series of letters that have been placed at different locations. Gamers must then run around collecting letters, holding onto a maximum of 10 at a time. Once a player has their letters, the bottom of the screen is used to form different words submitted for points. The winner of the game is determined by the person with the most points.

Longer words earn larger point quantities as rule, though a 2X tile can be collected to give double the points for any valid spelling. Seek-n-Spell is currently awaiting approval by Apple, but according to Retronyms is expected to be released on March 20th at a cost between $3 and $5.
