Intergenerational Locative Play: Augmenting Family examines the
social, spatial and physical impact of the hybrid reality game
(HRG) Pokémon Go on the relationship between parents and their
children. The ubiquity of digital media correlates with a mounting
body of work that considers the part digital technologies, such as
video games, play in the lives of children. Consequently,
commentators have deliberated the effects of rising levels of
screen time and the association of this trend with antisocial
behaviour, mental health-related problems, and the interference of
family life. Yet, recent studies have demonstrated that the
intergenerational play of video games can in fact strengthen
familial connections by facilitating communication between adults,
and children, and allowing adolescents to experiment with a range
of roles. Research on intergeneration play, however, has tended to
focus on video games played within the domestic sphere. In
contrast, Locative games, such as Pokémon Go involve players
physically interacting and moving through their surroundings.
Through an original study of Pokémon Go this book extends
developing research on intergenerational play to the field of
locative games.
