Using the pattern
Player-Location Proximity does not directly make Real Life Activities Affect Game State part of the gameplay of a game, but
Can Be Instantiated By
Physical Navigation, Player Physical Prowess
Extra-Game Input together with Pervasive Gameplay
Interface Aspects
Using Real Life Activities Affect Game State typically require the use of some sensing technology or Dedicated Game Facilitators to observe the activities since requiring players to do this disrupts the activities (and fake input can be given).
Consequences
Since Real Life Activities Affect Game State rewards those good at certain real world activities, knowledge of how to do those activities is beneficial for gameplay. This leads to games having this pattern to be likely to also have Real World Knowledge Advantages.
Real Life Activities Affect Game State is difficult to combine with Mimetic Interfaces since one patterns deals with making real world activities into gameplay actions while the other makes mimicking real world activities into gameplay actions.
