Research was the main event today. I have read some articles about games in a physical space. The list of what I have read goes as follows:
PeopleJane McGonigalBooksSpace Time Play (chapter 3)
- Geocaching is a treasure hunt game with the use of GPS
- Mogi; Location based community game
- The Beast is Alternate Reality Game
- Barcode Battler; Uses the barcodes of real life and turns them into game characters. So the products like candy might become a warrior in the game.
- I Love Bees; Hijacking payphones to tell a story. Broadcasting short pieces around a minute. Think of War of the world’s radio story.
- Perplex City is a combination of an alternate reality game and a treasure hunt.
- Pervasive Games (essay); bridging the gaps between the virtual and the physical
- Urban Role-Play (essay); the next generation of role-playing in urban space

ProjectsWaisdaTag game with content of the archiveEvaluation ReportOpen ImagesIt is a platform where users are free to reuse the material given through the website. A storyline idea/suggestion for the collectible concept I got during reading.
Through inspiration of the game Perplex City; the fragments of the archive collectively tell a story. It is like making a comic out of different pictures one would find on google.
This might be a good motivation why people would want to collect these fragments outside the game play.
