Pokemon Go meet up in Prague cut short due to server problems

A Wenceslas Square Pokemon Go event attracted several hundred people to the Prague city center on Saturday. The aim of the first such meet-up in the Czech Republic was to set a record in the biggest get-together of Pokemon Go fans in central Europe, compare levels and hunt Pokemon in the city centre. However the event was cut short due to server problems and the crowd dispersed after about 20 minutes. The mobile app-based game, in which players can track Pokemon hiding in real-world locations using their phone’s camera and GPS, has become an international craze.
