Pokemon Go, the outdoor, interactive smartphone app game that has been linked to robberies and dire accidents, has now prompted ?a class-action lawsuit claiming it’s luring players into people’s yards and houses.

“I had two 12-year-old girls looking to come into the house, this grief I do not need,” Jeffrey Marder of West Orange, N.J., told the Herald, saying five people ?tried to get into his backyard to play the game.

“I don’t want them on ?my property without their parents.”

Marder filed the lawsuit against the Pokemon Corp., game distributor Nintendo and game developer Niantic on Friday, seeking unspecified monetary damages and calling for the game to cease directing players to private prop-?erty. Representatives from the Pokemon Corp., Nintendo and Niantic did not return requests for comment.

players looking to play the game on his property has been cited in the suit. Boon Sheridan found out his property, a former church, had been designated as a “gym,” or place where Pokemon Go users can congregate and use their Pokemon to battle each other.

Sheridan plays Pokemon Go himself and recognized what was happening when players started showing up at his house. He ultimately asked Niantic to remove his house from the game, which it did within 48 hours, and he said that while he has no plans to join the lawsuit, he understands why Marder had filed it.

“I really didn’t see any reason to get too angry over it or too upset,” Sheridan said. “But if (the lawsuit) is the only lever available to people who have a real grievance to air, ?I’m not one to say they shouldn’t do it.”

Sheridan said his main concern is that if someone is ?injured on his property while playing the game, he might be liable.

Marder agreed that was a concern, saying the entire concept of the game is flawed.

“I think they should be punished for this whole idea, sending people to someone else’s house,” Marder said. “The fact that no one has been injured is a miracle.”

Pokemon Go, which has been downloaded more than 30 million times since its release last month, uses GPS to tell players if they are near the location of a Pokemon, which will be superimposed over their smartphone’s viewfinder, allowing players the chance to “catch” it.

Niantic’s software places the Pokemon at various locations without permission from property owners, and in some cases on private property or places where owners have been upset by game play, according to the lawsuit:

•?A home in Albuquerque, N.M., that had previously ?become famous as a location for the television show “Breaking Bad.”

•?The United States Holocaust?Memorial Museum, prompting the museum to respond, “Playing the game is not appropriate in the museum, which is a memorial to the victims of ?Nazism. We are trying to find out if we can get the museum excluded from the game.”

•?The Mobile Memorial Gar-?dens cemetery in Mobile, Ala.
