A day of discussions on games and the future of play.
The ARGs Don't Work
09:30 to 13:00
There's a major problem with the structure of alternate reality games. How do you keep your core players happy while making something that lets the casual audience in throughout the life of the project? An international panel of ARG designers meet to discuss their experiences and their visions for the future.
And Some History For Good Measure
14:30pm to 15:10
Pervasive games explore the space where games overlap with other cultural forms. This talk looks at some of the highlights of games-plus-something-else from the last thousand years or so, from an educational arithmetic game of the Middle Ages to alternate rulesets for duelling.
Taking the Pervasive Game Turing Test
15:30pm to 17:00
The Pervasive Game Turing Test - could I be having an equal or greater amount of fun playing this game without using technology - has challenged us at Hide and Seek to consider the role of technology in every game that we make. From text messaging to Wii hacks to GPS, a panel of games and technology designers discuss the possibilities and pitfalls of going past paper and pen.
