Abstract
In June 2011, the Asian Civilisations Museum launched an integrated iPhone app—the world’s first museum app to combine augmented reality (AR), location-based gaming, and interactive features—in its special exhibition Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor and His Legacy. Specially designed to tell a story that complements the content and flow of the exhibition in seven interactive chapters, each chapter highlights at least one object in the exhibition and attempts to engage visitors on a more personal level. As the story progresses, visitors respond to image markers that launch augmented reality and gaming experiences that breathe life into the objects.

Abstract
This paper advances the state of the art in games design of serious pervasive games. We analyze the game design of the two serious pervasive games built during the "PLUG, Play Ubiquitous Games and play more" project. We compare their desired objectives to the really completed ones. We then conclude with a section on what serious pervasive game design should be.
