reality-based games

Reality-based games are interactive entertainment experiences that blend real-world environments with game elements. They often involve participants engaging in physical activities, problem-solving, or storytelling in actual locations, sometimes guided by digital devices or narratives. Examples include escape rooms, live-action role-playing, and augmented reality games like Pokémon GO. These games emphasize immersion and social interaction, making gameplay feel tangible and immediate. They connect virtual concepts with real-world settings, creating an engaging, experiential form of entertainment that encourages exploration, collaboration, and creativity beyond traditional screen-based gaming.
