Locative Games
• What are locative games?– Locative games are played in physical spaces and take into account the player’s
physical position. Locative games are usually played on handheld or mobile devices.
• Why do we need them?– To generate interest and awareness about specific locations.– Games would be a fun way to pass on information about these sites, at the sites.
• Where is this located?– The games proposed are designed for Dholavira.– They can be replicated at other historical sites.

Ideas
• Locative adventure– Players must solve a mystery.– They are provided with clues/tasks
to get to the next stage.– During the course of the game
players learn and discover information of the site
• Board games– Developed board games through
using gamesmen and pieces and boards found at Dholavira and Lothal (museum).
• Locative MMORPG– Create a virtual experience of the
world during that period.– Players can build virtual cities at
different ancient civilization sites.– Use site specific information about
geology, plants and animals.
