This Master-project was initiated by a cooperation of the Mobile and Game Development sections of FH Augsburg. The goal of the project was to create an app for mobile phones using RFID-technology. One of the biggest obstacles was to simulate the use of RFID as, at that time, mobile phones with RFID were not yet available in Germany.

Game
The game is a history-based adventure that tries to put the player into the position an investigator whose quest it is to follow the traces of a15th century merchant travelling to Augsburg. In contrast to most computer games, this mobile game uses the phone as interface and display while requiring the user himself to become an active part of the game. Using the hints given by the game, the player moves through the real city searching for the hidden links that are required to proceed within the game.
