The use of GPS made this childhood game _______ more fun. “It was a creative way of bringing something new _______ old games with technology.” said McCarthy. “It is a good way _______ new people and even make friends, as one needs to work together with new people.”

For me, it’s good that this activity got me moving as I am not so _______ in working out in my daily life. However, I could have had more fun if the park wasn’t so big.
