Abstract

Location-based games introduce an element that is missing in interactive console games: the locomotion of players and thus thephysical effort characteristic of sportive activities. The authors show how to design location-based games that combine sportivelocomotion with strategic reasoning by using classic board games as templates. This article is part of a special issue on interactiveentertainment.
