Abstract

With location-based games, how you manage uncertainty can make the difference between fun and fiasco. Game designers should know what uncertainties to hide and what to reveal to create an engaging experience. This article describes our experiences, focusing on uncertainty, in publicly deploying an experimental, mobile mixed-reality game called Can You See Me Now?.
