The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.
This pattern is a still a stub.
Contents
Examples
While many Sports include physical movement, Orienteering is the prime example of one that also requires navigation. The navigation required in Geocaching relatively easy in contrast since GPS use is part of the activity. BotFighters, Pirates!, Treasure, and Uncle Roy All Around You are all games that rely less on making players move to specific locations but nevertheless require players to navigate in physical environments.
Quite naturally, Live Action Roleplaying Games such as Assassin, Dragonbane, and Trenne Byar require some level of Physical Navigation since they are played in large areas that players need to traverse.
Human PacMan re-interprets Pac-Man by making players embody all the characters and thereby force them to do Physical Navigation to play the game.
