Started in 2001 in collaboration with his good friend Ian Fraser, The Go Game was the first location-based game of it's kind. In a time before flash mobs and check-ins, hundreds of San Francisco adventurers came out each month to play one of their hand-crafted urban games, weaving actors and creative stunts with trivia and location based clues.

They hold the record for the world's largest mobile phone game with an event in Dallas that featured over 2500 players. To date, over 1 million players have experienced their blend of fun and creativity, and they have grown to a 3 million dollar company with 20 employees across the country. Finnegan is responsible for the technical side of the company and which is poised to release its first iPhone App for SXSW.
