ContextKing: Virtual Kingdoms in Real Life

Mondial pervasive games exchange the game board for earth’s surface and the users themselves wander over the earth as game pieces over the game board. ContextKing is a mondial pervasive game that uses sensory inputs from the real-world to create a new game experience that can be played within the user’s social network, whenever the user finds the time, and from any place in the world. We discuss the game set-up, the adoption and usage of the game in real-life, as well as some observations from the game play.
