Games have always been a social activity. Playing digital games affords
spending time with people; helps build personal connections between
individuals and helps to redefine the personality of the player while in
play. Games also enable to build the concept of togetherness as a means
to foster and enhance the concept of social connectedness, mutual
dependencies, collaboration, community living and social interaction. We
present a work in progress digital game installation to create
multi-level social interactions between the player, the spatial game
environment and the digital game. We discuss MagicDuel, a multiplayer
digital game, where we are in the process of evaluating the
socio-spatial contextual relationship between the players, the audience
and gameplay elements for this specific digital game.
