Do you need a phone to do this? Where is the start button? I don't see how to play on my phone OR computer.

Click the "Search" icon and a "Start Challenge" option with a blue Pokéball symbol should appear. Click it and a few Pokémon sprites should pop up near your "local Pokémon Lab."
This doesn't happen for me. :(

Is it only for the phone? Should I be search on Google Maps or just Google?

Do you have Google Maps installed?

If so, then you may want to check your Android version. I believe that this is only available for ICS (4.0)+
 
I have 71 so far. What a fun time waster! I was expecting to find Lapras in Loch Ness but I only found Dragonite.
 
Has anyone made a list of where you can find all 150?

I know of the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Tokyo, Cern, and Google Headquarters.




EDIT: Forgot the Vatican.

I have a Galaxy S4 and this doesn't show up on my Google Maps app. Makes me sad :(

It works on a co-worker's Galaxy S4.
 
Heres a list I found from reddit of all 150 locations if anyone is interested.

Still can't find it. I have Google Maps installed on my phone and there is nothing out of the ordinary on it when I open the program up. :(

Are you logged into your google account and is your app up to date?
 
The Pokémon Challenge ends April 2 and works with both the Android and iOS version of Google Maps.

"Dozens of wild Pokémon have taken up residence on streets, amidst forests and atop mountains throughout Google Maps," Google said. " To catch 'em all, grab your Poké Ball and the newest version of Google Maps for iPhone or Android. Then tap the search bar, 'press start,' and begin your quest."

I heard than when you got all 150 Pokemons, you can get Mew (151) at the Amazone regio..Don`t know if it is truth?
 
Yeah, Mew is/was able to be found after you found all 150. I spent about an hour finding it checking the locations on April 1st and then gave up and went back to it later and found it at a new location.

dmaster out.

Is it fun at Google HQ? :p
 
It probably would be if they would hurry up and set that battle date if you know what I mean. ;p

If you did not start on April 1st, you can not start now. I tried on the wife's phone. But if you did start on April 1st, it is still working. I just found more Pokémon. So watch out Mew.
