Abstract
This short work-in-progress paper reports on our ongoing efforts to build a suite of location-based augmented-reality games for a new type of engagement with cultural heritage. Rather than being strongly historical, our games are based on original as well as adapted literary content of particular relevance to the chosen sites. The paper reports on our game mechanics and narrative techniques and discusses the applicability of the approach to other sites and to more historical content.
