In the game “PoliCity” every player assumes one of three roles for a series of urban planning campaigns (economy, environment or social sector). Together players can implement infrastructure and activity plans for different city quarters. The digital game is played on a printed city map using augmented reality and smart devices. Each city features a real-time heatmap showing current activity in each city sector. Projects for the city can be proposed and placed on the city map to improve each sector. However, before being implementated, they first have to be confirmed by at least one of the other players. Resources to implement projects are collected via interactions with virtual inhabitants of the city and are used in order to unlock further potential projects activities.
