Abstract (EN): As new, more powerful, mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets and PDAs arrive, so do new ways of interaction for the users and developers to explore. These devices allow for the creation of never-before-seen applications, using the broad range of inputs and sensors these devices posses (such as accelerometers, light sensors, compasses, GPS sensor among others), that allow for more ubiquous and personalized experiences. Mobile location-based games are such applications, not being limited to copying previous console/computer games and their concepts, but rather inovating them so as to provide different and unique gaming experiences.
