The Emotions Geogame: Mobile Location-Based Game for Mapping Emotions and Places

The Emotions Geogame is a mobile location-based game that invites players to explore the physical environment and enables them to map emotions related to the self-selected places. It is built around the idea of an Alien that visits the Earth and learns about the places and the meaning of emotions. The research concentrates on designing and implementing a game that will enable the players to map emotions and reasons as to what in the environment evokes these emotions. This short paper summarizes the current Emotions Geogame concept and shows the mock-up user interface design. It concludes with future directions and implementation of the game for smart mobile devices.
