==Explanation==<br />
{{w|Ingress (game)|Ingress}} is an {{w|augmented reality}} location-based service game in which players have to visit certain real-world places marked by the game as containing in-game objectives, called portals. The friend in the comic owns a home surrounded by an abundance of portals, which makes it an attractive destination for Cueball and co.<br />
<br />
{{w|Foursquare}} is another service that lets users check into places they visit for discounts in a similar way to how Ingress players visit portals for points.<br />
