Reason for the Game Designers Award
Ingress is a game to control fields in the real world based on the information on landmarks and locations.
Ingress gets many supports from judges because the rule and the picture formation are novel as well as it is so appealing that many players are wrapped up in the game.
Strictly speaking, the service-in time should not be considered for selection, but Ingress is selected for the award because it is true Ingress dominated Japan in the period and that more than one judge voted for it or asked for information.

Work Introdution
A player selects either the "Enlightened" or the "Resistance" team, and links hidden "portals" filled with mysterious energy to enhance a territory.
Portals are linked with art works and landmarks in the real world.
Actually visiting such places and taking certain actions, the player can acquire portals in his/her home territory.
The number of Ingress players is 12 million or more across 200 countries in the World.
