Abstract
This chapter describes the course “Playcentric Game Design (SGD100)” and how we embedded an alternate reality game (ARG) into that course. It is as much, and possibly more so, about the delivery of the course rather than the course’s content. SGD100 is a first year, first semester, introductory game design undergraduate university course. An ARG is a pervasive game that combines an interactive storyline with clues that advance the narrative as players solve puzzles and complete real-world tasks in collaboration with other players (The IGDA Alternate Reality Games SIG, 2006).
