10 Pervasive computing games: Bridging the gap The transformational potential of technology Optimism. Technology can Connect people Turn cities into playgrounds Spark debate Layer depth over the real location Doubt. How are these opportunities to be effected? How to design pervasive computing games?

11 Pervasive computing games: How to design? Games are complex artifacts Goal: design of location based games The learning potential Physical experience Mental challenge Social interaction Immersion Games in places of high information Knowing the city, living the urban landscape Activities for visitors Site-specific playful educational activities

12 Overview Pervasive games A brief review Bridging the gap How to design pervasive games Invisible City - Rebels Vs Spies The original Mafia party game Expanding the game Rebels Vs Spies Understanding the process The MDA framework Testing in the field Results Future directions

13 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies How to design pervasive computing games? Adapt existing games Hide & seek, treasure hunt, cops & robbers Party games, board-, trading- or role playing games Computer games Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies Multiplayer game for Android devices The players move in the city, observe, solve puzzles, compete and cooperate

14 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: The original Mafia party game Template: Mafia game, Aka Night in Palermo, Werewolves, Assassins... Asymmetrical information, informed minority VS uninformed majority

15 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: The original Mafia party game Two teams try to prevail, Citizens VS Assassins

16 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: The original Mafia party game Assassins know each-other, but pretend to be citizens Citizens know there are X assassins among them

17 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: The original Mafia party game A moderator steers the game

18 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: The original Mafia party game During night, the assassins eliminate a citizen During day, all the players vote one suspect player out of the game Night/day continues until only assassins or only citizens are left

19 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: The original Mafia party game Some observations Asymmetrical information Deep social play Reliance on observation, mimicry and emotion No tools needed Eliminated players participate as observers Combination of Deception & bluffing Prisoner's dilemma Ostracism [performance trust groups identity...] Moderated game

25 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept Aim: Real-world, location based game Running in the real world. Solving puzzles. actions are situated in real context experiences are associated with knowledge Interaction with real-world objects Players interacting with each other Plotting and strategy building

28 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept Spatial expansion From the room To the city Performance Locations are spread out Players cannot observe each other Meaning and storyline is fragmented Eliminated players are without role Contextuality Incorporate contextual information By observing features of locations/objects By scanning barcodes containing information (QR codes)

29 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept Spatial expansion From the room To the city center Performance Locations are spread out Players cannot observe each other Meaning and storyline is fragmented Eliminated players are without role Contextuality Incorporate contextual information By observing features of locations/objects By scanning barcodes containing information (QR codes)

31 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept Rebels Uninformed majority Spies Informed minority

32 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept At the beginning of a round the players gather together and choose a leader

33 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept A leader is elected who chooses the missions for each player

34 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept The leader sends the missions to the players and becomes a normal player Some missions are critical, some are not If a critical mission fails, the round goes to the spies

35 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept Each player proceeds to find the location mentioned in the mission

36 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept The players can choose to either succeed or fail

37 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept After completing the mission each player proceeds to the location for the next round

38 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept The game is a succession of phases where players debate, argue and vote Carry out individual missions

39 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept The game is a succession of phases where players debate, argue and vote Carry out individual missions

40 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept The game is a succession of phases where players debate, argue and vote Carry out individual missions

41 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept The game is a succession of phases where players debate, argue and vote Carry out individual missions

42 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept Transformations Ostracism Sabotage Day/night structure vote/mission structure Moderator voted leader & system (+) location-specific puzzles, contextual knowledge (+) physical effort (running, walking...)

43 Invisible city - Rebels Vs Spies: Expanding the concept Transformations Ostracism Sabotage Day/night structure vote/mission structure Moderator voted leader & system (+) location-specific puzzles, contextual knowledge (+) physical effort (running, walking...)

44 Overview Pervasive games A brief review Bridging the gap How to design pervasive games Invisible City: Rebels Vs Spies The original Mafia party game Expanding the concept Rebels Vs Spies Understanding the process The MDA framework Testing in the field Results Future directions

45 Understanding the process: The MDA framework Mechanics The particular components of the game Actions, behaviors, mechanisms, tools Dynamics Run-time behavior, the result of the mechanics in time Aesthetics The emotional involvement of the player

46 Understanding the process: The MDA framework Mechanics Dynamics Asymmetrical information, voting for leader, moving to a location, finding a real-world artifact, choosing to succeed/fail a mission, meeting and debating Suspicion, bluffing, communicating, cooperating, dramatic tension Aesthetics Sensation, fantasy, challenge, discovery, narrative, fellowship, war

47 Understanding the process: Real-word testing 5 players, 1½ hours in the city of Patra Players asked to replay soon (good indicator) Some considerations Is it motivating? How easily can it be played? Distance physical effort : how much is acceptable? Missions are individual Are the puzzles interesting? Do the players understand the rules? Do they cheat? Can the players use the devices? Has context been incorporated? Does the urban landscape play a role?

48 Understanding the process: Real-word testing They reported that: (+) they understood the game, the rules, the tools Not really, interview showed some confusion (+) they were enjoyed, would replay, would pay, would recommend (+) players did gain new knowledge about the city (-) some bystanders were annoyed (-) the missions were dull irrelevant It didn't matter that much: the fun was in the dynamics

49 Understanding the process: Real-word testing They reported that: (+) they understood the game, the rules, the tools Not really, interview showed some confusion (+) they were enjoyed, would replay, would pay, would recommend (+) players did gain new knowledge about the city (-) some bystanders were annoyed (-) the missions were dull irrelevant It didn't matter that much: the fun was in the dynamics

50 Understanding the process: Real-word testing They reported that: (+) they understood the game, the rules, the tools Not really, interview showed some confusion (+) they were enjoyed, would replay, would pay, would recommend (+) players did gain new knowledge about the city (-) some bystanders were annoyed (-) the missions were dull irrelevant It didn't matter that much: the fun was in the dynamics

51 Understanding the process: Future directions Future directions Emphasis on narrative Link the tasks to a strong narrative Scenario The mayor has been kidnapped. The team searches for clues. The clues are hidden in the city. But some of the team-members are collaborators of the kidnappers Emphasis on structure Easier game mechanics Parallel competition for limited points Find objects in the city. Connect these objects to themes/concepts/hints Meaningful connection more points

52 Understanding the process: Future directions Design support for specific issues Mechanics/Dynamics/Aesthetics Good, but not enough Support real-world setting Physical dimensions (distance, weather, time/day) Contextual information (real/imaginary) Degree of freedom. The magic circle is penetrated by reality.
