Pervasive Games / La decima vittima

Pervasive games are games where people play a game in real life. An examples we looked at was a game where a group of people wondered around a city to hunt others that were playing the game. When you found an opposing player you had to say a certain phrase to them. if you did so that player joined you and helped you hunt. Then eventually the winner was the team that had all the players join them.

Another example was an assassination game where players are given targets to assassinate. Obviously it is fake assassination. There are also certain rules about safe zones.

We also watched a movie called La decima vittima which translates to "The 10th Victim". The movie is in Italian but we had English subtitles. The plot of the movie is a about the contestants in what is basically a pervasive game of assassination but with real assassinations. The movie also adds in a romance between two of the assassins and the movie seemed fairly funny. With everyone in the room enjoying the weirdness of the film.

The movie has two sequels that i have not seen.
