Pokemon fever has swept across New Jersey like wildfire, sending gads of children and adults alike scouring the state for the collectible pocket monsters.

The augmented reality mobile game Pokemon Go was released last week and has saturated the nation's landscape with players. This week, the game has been more popular than Twitter and Facebook by some calculations.

Pokemon Go uses your location to superimpose gameplay over reality using your phone's camera, and can be played virtually anywhere. There are thousands of Pokestops, gyms and high traffic Pokemon areas across New Jersey, each offering different hidden treasures and challenges.

We created a user-generated map that highlights some of the best spots in New Jersey. Click on the icons in the map below to see information about a point of interest a player has entered.

So far, the map has nearly 1,200 entries collected from several sources and will be updated daily, so check back often!

Leave questions or suggestions in the comments thread, or find us in the New Jersey Pokemon Go subreddit. Happy hunting!

Disclaimer: We're doing our best to monitor the map for potential abuses, but be aware that strong language could make its way in here. Stay aware of your surroundings and use Pokemon Go at your own risk. Before long we'll build in a way to report false sightings/bad locations.
