Fort Amsterdam uses location based platform 7scenes. 7scenes makes creating, playing, (live) tracking and sharing location based games easy with an online authoring environment, mobile phone software and an online community.
From the 7scenes website:
With 7scenes anyone can easily create interactive stories, routes and games and position these along locations in the city. We see the world as a stage where you are more then merely a player. You’re the director of location-based experiences, which we call scenes. So take the world around you and layer it with engaging scenes for others to discover on their GPS-based mobile phone. And of course, relive and share your outdoor adventures with friends online.
