Pokémon GO Players: Charles River Museum Will Have Active Lure Thursday

WALTHAM, MA – Calling all Pokémon GO players in Waltham - the Charles River Museum is offering an active lure tomorrow at noon for users itching to catch 'em all.

The lure lets users attract wild Pokémon to a Pokéstop for capture. The Charles River Museum, a prominent Pokéstop in Waltham, frequently offers lures for Pokémon GO users.

For those unfamiliar with Pokémon GO, the augmented reality game allows players to catch wild Pokémon as they appear in the real world.

Players receive a notification that a Pokémon is near as they go about their daily lives. Once it appears on their phone screen, they can throw a PokéBall to catch it and add it to their PokéDex. The aim of the real-world scavenger hunt, reflecting Pokémon's motto for more than a decade, is to "catch 'em all."
