Role-playing Games and Community Engagement with Local History
Academic Lead: Jacqui Mulville, Cardiff University Denys Pringle, Cardiff University Business Partners: Hugh Griffiths, Lily Pad Films
The project aims to explore the use of pervasive role-playing and geocaching games to engage people in the community of all ages, in local history. It centres on the use of an interactive digital role playing game to engage community with local history, to make people look at history as an active subject and to explore the boundaries between historical fact and fiction.
