This paper explores how we may transform peoples’ perceived\udaccess to cultural participation by exploiting the possible\udrelationships between place, play and mobile devices. It presents SCOOT; a location-based game in order to investigate how aspects of game-play can be employed to evoke at once playful and culturally meaningful experiences of place.
