One of the people that I met at the Geography Camp last weekend was Jana Wendler.
She is currently doing a PhD at the University of Manchester.
Jana is exploring the way that people make use of public space, and one use they make of it is for gaming of various kinds.
Her blog is here
Also linked through to this book (you can read some of it online...) - connects with the word ludic, which is linked to play and matches the Mission:Explore approach...
At the camp she showed us how some simple props could be used to explore game development. She started with a bag of bottle tops and challenged us to come up with some ideas for using them in the game. Within a few minutes we had at least 10 different games to explore, which made use of the location we were in.
Plenty more to explore here...
