Abstract

We present the pervasive game Insectopia, which have been designed by the approach of utilizing commercially available mobile phones to provide context-dependent gameplay. The design and evaluation of the game is described together with a discussion on how this approach can speed up making pervasive games a viable game genre for the general public.
