The Pervasive Games Group of the {egg} presents their new design of the big urban game Re:Activism, originally developed by the PETLab at Parsons The New School. This modular design of Re:Activism gives players a condensed experience of activist history in Atlanta. Players travel around to downtown sites that are tied to historical moments of activism and complete challenges related to those events.
The Emergent Game Group {egg} was formed in 2006 by Georgia Tech Digital Media faculty member Celia Pearce to investigate the many facets of emergent cultures in multiplayer games and virtual worlds, and to explore design strategies that promote emergent social behavior. We frame our work as “design research,” which integrates outcomes from our sociological and anthropological research into design practice. The {egg} is housed within the Experimental Game Lab (EGL) in Georgia Tech's TSRB.
