Games Atelier - A Challenge for Collaborative Experience
Research paper door Corinna Pape, Ph.D. student, University of Frankfurt
"Location-based games such as Games Atelier indicate that the entire world we live in is reflected as a game board, that the boundaries of urban social life and games are blurring. And also, Games Atelier is faced with the dilemma of how to leverage its engaging and effective principles. Taking this into account, how is this game-board-like urban space, how are the interfaces between this layered narratives experienced? And how can the students’ collaborative experience be made more engaging instead of being too pedagogic?"
The main research question of this paper is:
What design principles can be added to Games Atelier to enrich the collaborative experience and engage students more intensely?
Sub questions arise because of that:
• What are the main characteristics of current location-based games and mixed-reality art performances?
• How can these characteristics be embedded in theory?
• How does Games Atelier benefit from these insights?
