The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

Category:Sports where several participants compete simultaneously and can affect each other, e.g. Soccer, Basketball, Boxing, depend on Player-Player Proximity. Likewise, such as 1942 – Noen å stole på, Conspiracy for Good, and Momentum, rely on Player-Player Proximity since players wish to have face-to-face interaction when roleplaying. Assassin and children's games such as Hide-and-Seek also make being close to other players a factor of gameplay.

Another type of Player-Player Proximity exist in games where players do not have to have actual physical interaction but technology requires them to be close. Examples of such games include BotFighters, Human PacMan, Pirates!, and Treasure. Pacman must die provides a variant of this since here multiple mobile devices each contain part of the mediated game and players need to placed them appropriately to be able and move through the gameplay area.
