QONQR, the GeoSocial Game of World Domination! QONQR (pronounced “conquer”) is a massively multiplayer virtual world, a GeoSocial game layer, built on top of the real world using smartphone GPS technology and location-based services.

QONQR is a persistent and evolving computer universe in which players engage in location-based battle and intrigue. In the QONQR world, agents wage war for supremacy around the globe and around the clock.
