Summary

What Aristoteles meant is that games are for kids and fill our free time but are also a method of relaxation from leisure.

The main reason to call it hybrid games, the game action takes in the digital world, but it also has a connection to the public space.

REXplorer is a game made by "Serious Game." They aimed to use the interactivity of video games to make the city a huge game space and engage their players to educate, inspire and discover the landmarks of Regensburg.

The main purpose of these hybrid games is to make the city more interactive and engaging with its culture and history for its citizens and tourists.

The main idea here, as we talked about before how a neighborhood becomes a hybrid game space in a hide-n-seek game.

With some hybrid games, we can make architectural elements or spaces more interactive with people.

We can use other types of hybrid games as data for our analysis.
