Kurzfassung

In this paper we investigate the basic properties of location-based games. This new type of game is made possible by the recent advances of mobile computing hardware and infrastructure. Players act not by pressing buttons or moving pawns on a board, but by moving around themselves in the real world. We present a simple classification of location-based games, and show how these games can be designed and implemented. With some adaptations, game concepts from existing board and computer games can be mapped to make location-based games more interesting and fun to play. Our methods are demonstrated with three actual game examples. Further, common infrastructure requirements are deduced and we show how the open platform developed by the neXus working group fulfills them.
