The design workshops are activities where the particapants attempt to design location-based mobile games for learning. The particapants follow a procedure that can last from 1,5 to 2,5 hours. The particapants follow a design scenario in which they have to design a hypothetical location-based mobile game for the archaeological park of ancient Pompeii.

The design activity can be used as design tool to rapildy design game concepts and has been also used as an educational tool on design.

Design workshops tha follow the procedure laid out here have been implemented on various occasions. They have resulted in a number of game concepts, some of which are particularly interesting.

The material for implementing these design workshops is freely available here: (http://hci.ece.upatras.gr/pompeiigame).
