From the official website:
GARFIELD MEETS THE REAL WORLD IN 3D!

Garfield GO is a brand new augmented reality treasure hunt game, featuring everyone’s favorite lasagna-loving cat!
Garfield: 'What's this?'

NO TREASURE IN YOUR AREA YET? NO PROBLEM!
If there are no treasure chests nearby, an Airdrop Request will automatically be sent to notify us once you launch the game. We will drop treasures in your area as soon as we can, then let you know once they are ready! You can also submit a Location Request!

WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY?
Augmented reality is a new technology that allows for you to experience parts of the game in the real world! While playing Garfield GO, you can use your phone’s camera to look around and find Garfield pointing to a chest nearby. Everywhere you go, Garfield is there with you!

Someone will try exploiting this to the point where they're forced to remove financial incentives. I'm sure of it.

Financial incentives in apps is a huge no no. So much potential to go wrong.

Mini-games and unlockable comics? Also the air-drop feature which ensures content no matter where you are? Sounds better than Pokemon Go was at launch :p

Back during the initial release hype period, my coworkers and I stopped off at a Burger King late in the evening. Some old lady came up to us, speaking with a drawl, and asked us if we're playing this Pokemon Go thing. We said yes. She asked "Why? Do you get money for catching these Pokemon?" We told her that it was more of a social experience. She went on to say that she still didn't get it, so there has to be some sort of prize.
