The hangover of the game Pokemon Go is all above the head of everybody due to which. The smartphones user never gets the chance to see the outer world and enjoy it or explore it which is why Google’s new experiment is so intriguing. Although it shares no real connection with Pokemon Go, Google’s new app —Verne: The Himalayas — is similar in that it gives you the ability to explore the world in an entirely new way. Using Google Maps 3D imagery, the app puts you in the shoes (or furry feat) of a 500 foot tall Yeti named Verne.

 “You can run up Mt. Everest in seconds, skate across icy lakes, chase yaks, discover bits of information, ride a jetpack, play Himalayan instruments, and more.” Who hasn’t wanted to jetpack around snowy mountains as a Yeti?! That’s been on my bucket list for years.

Although it’s not quite a game, Verne: The Himalayas could be both a useful and entertaining education tool for kids and adults alike, as well as a fun distraction for when you run out of Poke Balls in Pokemon Go.
