Talk:Pervasive game

Redirect to location-based game
I don't think pervasive game = location based game. The EU-funded IPerG R&D project defines pervasive games as: "the creation of entirely new game experiences, which are tightly interwoven with our everyday lives through the objects, devices and people that surround us and the places we inhabit... a radically new game form that extends gaming experiences out into the physical world. " I.e. pervasive games might often be location based, but this is not necessary. I would say there are strong links between ARGs, location-based games and pervasive games, but they are sufficiently different to warrant separate pages. --winterstein (talk) 20:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Definition
"A pervasive game is a game where the game world blends with the physical world" - from the sources, is this talking about electronic games, or any games? Does the definition require that the game have some non-physical aspect, in order to be "blending"? --McGeddon (talk) 08:57, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Since I can't access the sources, I've taken a stab at rewording this to "a game where a virtual or abstract game is blended with the physical world", although this still needs to be clearer. --McGeddon (talk) 15:13, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I would argue that a pervasive game does not need to be a video game or have any digital component in it. Many to most RPG or LARP games fall into the category of pervasive - Aaron E-J 21:28, 16 December 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AaronEJ (talk • contribs)

Merge
Wasn't sure what to do with this cleanup tag. It was marked as confusing, which it is, because it's all academic jargon and no actual content. All that we've got here is that the game blends the physical and digital worlds, so it's more of a glossary term. Specific types of pervasive games might have more to say about them, and they can be expanded in their respective locations. Merged to the glossary term. czar 07:46, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Please leave me a message before you completely delete all my work i.e., with a REDIRECT to a glossary page. I'm am not here constantly, but I do visit regularly.--K.Nevelsteen (talk) 10:26, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
