Abstract

Human relationships are migrating from the physical world to the virtual world. Pervasive games can be a valuable and enjoyable method to bring people back to the physical world. In this position paper, we present a concept for a pervasive game, which integrates some specific mechanisms aiming at promoting social offline interaction.
