Presentation of the game

Stacks Image 4740
Small gardens with plants from different geographical areas grow at the University of Murcia, Espinardo Campus. In this game developed on the ARIS platform, three of these gardens are used to play the game: the Eastern Mediterranean, the Rose Garden and the Garden of the Hesperides. These three areas are linked by a greenway, which can be accessed by bike or on foot. The guide for this game is a posthumous avatar of the botanist and educator Gaston Bonnier, who tells us where to find seeds on the campus. Once we get the seeds, we receive instructions for planting them in the most appropriate place. Gaston teaches us to recognize the different flora families on the campus and show us how to improve our perception. He give us microscopic images of plant leaves which we must be matched to their sources to determine the best place to sow our seeds.
