 While many times [[Feelies]] simply provide extra experiential value to a game, they sometimes also can help gameplay. One example of this is the map of the Underground Empire shipped together with [[Zork I]] which gives some hints to players.
 Feelies can arguably be said to provide [[Extra-Game Broadcasting]] when they depict events that have taken place in the game world, e.g. the diary provided with [[Planetfall]].

+[[Feelies]] are a type of [[Props]] so the main design challenges associated with them are similar to those of [[Props]] in general except for the physical design of them. Since [[Feelies]] are extra elements provided specifically to provide additional experiences the diegetic and narration aspects of them, for example supporting [[Diegetic Consistency|Diegetic]] and [[Thematic Consistency]], become even more important to them than to other game elements. One particular choice they offer is to give players [[Clues]] or to provide [[Red Herrings]] for them.
