A game idea that comes from the uber driving app for smartphones, is a racing game designed around the idea that you, an uber driver must drive as quickly as possible to reach the person who asked for a driver... The catch being that the people who asked for a driver, are a group of friends planning to get their uber drivers to race across the city to their destination the fastest.

The game will have single player time trial modes, but will be focus mostly on the multiplayer side, where between 2-8 players will race to this group of friends, and then drop off their passenger at the specified location the fastest. Naturally the player can decide to drive dangerously, but risk getting chased by the police, which could potentially speed up their time, however they are unable to drop off, or pick up passengers while wanted by the police. Alternatively players are able to drive closer within the law and disregard the police entirely. Both styles have their pros/cons, but the winner will ultimately be the player who can find the right balance.

Player's are uber drivers after all, and their vehicles will be restricted to more common cars, with no sort of modifications or upgrades for their cars, player's will have to rely on sheer skill alone to beat the other players. The players will also have a very limited HUD, if they wish to play in a third person mode, they can do so with only a standard GPS and speedometer, no police car detection or anything else to assist them in dodging/avoiding police or traffic. Similarly in first person mode, only these two sets of information will be present.
