As Pokémon GO has proven, it’s a great time to get out of the house and explore the world around you. But if you want a bigger adventure than just walking around your town, you’ll find Google’s new app interesting. Kids will especially love it.
Verne: The Himalayas, is similar to Pokémon GO only in the sense that it gives you the ability to explore the world in a new way.
