BUT WHAT IS A GAME?
AND WHERE ARE THE GAMES?
I found the answer
when I was a little boy…
… together with my friends,
while playing in the street
… a war game!

GAMES ARE “AT EVERY MILESTONE” (FOUND THANKS TO BALKANTON, 9.IX.1970)
September 9, Burgas, Bulgaria 5DIPP'2017
A game is a type of play activity, conducted in the context of a pretended reality,in which the participant(s) try to achieve at least one arbitrary, non-trivial goal by acting in accordance with rules.

SERIOUS GAMES (SG)
Digital interactive applications that allow users to make specific experiences that promote active and experiential paths of learning in various domain of human existence,
through virtual/augmented simulations
through ludic and playing formats
“A serious game or applied game is a game designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment” (Abt, 1970)
“A serious game is a digital game in which education is the
primary goal, rather than entertainment” (Micheal & Chen, 2006)
SG enable self-controlled, active and playfully learning

VIDEO GAMES FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE
All video games do always reflect somehow human culture because they are "objects produced and played within culture at large", however, "not all games manifest transformative cultural play to actually transform culture“ (source: Salen and Zimmerman, 2007)
Unlike other traditional media, video games are capable to make deeper our understanding and feelings of cultural heritage (both tangible and intangible) in a very interactive and immersive way (source: Bontchev, 2015)

TYPES OF VIDEO GAMES FOR CULTURAL
HERITAGE
1. Entertainment documentary games
2. 3D role-playing adventure games
3. Interactive virtual museums
4. Prototypes and demonstrators
5. Social tagging and knowledge acquisition SG

TYPE 1. ENTERTAINMENT DOCUMENTARY GAMES
‘History Line: 1914-1918’ (Blue Byte, 1992) ‘Great Battles of Rome’ (Slitherine Strategies, 2007) ‘Napoleon: Total War’ (Creative Assembly, 2010)

TYPE 2. 3D ROLE-PLAYING ADVENTURE GAMES
‘Red Dead Redemption’ (Rockstar San Diego, 2010) ‘Assassin’s Creed II’ (Ubisoft Montreal, 2009)
September 9, Burgas, Bulgaria 14DIPP'2017

TYPE 3. INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL MUSEUMS
use gaming technology for both entertaining and educating visitors usually by incorporating some exploration and reassembling tasks and quizzes
examples - ‘Virtual Egyptian Temple’, ‘Olympic Pottery Puzzle’, ‘Walk through Ancient Olympia’ and ‘ThIATRO’
September 9, Burgas, Bulgaria 15DIPP'2017

of ThIATRO, 2012)

TYPE 4. PROTOTYPES AND DEMONSTRATORS
games based on 3D virtual reconstruction 3D and geo-referenced modeling of ancient historical sites
provide not only realistic archaeological exploration with historical accuracy but also political, religious and artistic walkthrough with crowd restauration of ancient characters with procedurally generated NPC
examples - ‘Pompei: The Legend of Vesuvius’ edutainment SG and ‘Roma Nova’ brain-controlled SG

TYPE 5. SOCIAL TAGGING AND KNOWLEDGE
ACQUISITION SG
SG for encouraging players to submit accurate information about cultural artifacts embedded into the games for further knowledge verification and mining
Examples - ‘One-Up’ is a multi-round mobile crowdsourcing metadata tagging game fostering players to propose high-quality metadata and rewarding them based on metadata (Flanagan et al, 2013)

SERIOUS PROBLEMS OF SERIOUS GAMES
Higher development cost
Lower attractiveness compared to entertainment games
Transition between instructional design and actual game design implementation - how Game Mechanics impact and interact with the Learning Mechanics
Assessment - effectively tracking and analysing of the right parameters related to learners’ progress (knowledge gain, reflection and application)
How psychological theories should be used in the design of realistic and convincing NPCs?
How different pedagogical paradigms relate to SG and SG mechanics - reference framework needed!

THE GREATER CHALLENGE:
Higher development cost …
and, on the other side,
… lack of enough free and customizable
platforms for automatic creation of serious
games!

PRACTICAL EXPERIMENT
WITH TWO GROUPS OF USERS
Educators - passed though a demonstration of generation of
a maze game and arrangements of didactic objects
embedded into it and watched a video about the maze
creational process. Next, they filled in a questionnaire about
platform usability and game playability
Students – learners through the generated serious game
available online at http://adaptimes.eu/carpetgame/ and who
played the game
either online by a Firefox browser with Unity Web Player Plugin
installed from https://unity3d.com/webplayer,
or offline by downloading the desktop version of the game from
this Web page.
Next, they filled in a questionnaire about game playability
