Abstract

This study presents and discusses how the participation of players happens in the structure and validation of the geographical area of interest in Niantic locative games. To better understand this process, how the cities are represented and simulated inside the structure of the locative games is enlighten. This structure and the Ingress Mechanics evoke in the players two types of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic, and it makes them participate in the validation process of areas of interest for the games around the world, which are used in Pokémon Go as well. The result of this process corresponds to the way Niantic maps physical spatiality for its locative games.
