Creative Gaming - Human Tetris

In pervasive games  gaming activity continues from the video screen to physical surroundings. My colleagues doing games research have lately investigated also casual games and their future perspective. One of the first casual game in the world was ... Tetris !

I have often dreamed about playing my favourite games in real life settings.

Japanese are inventive people and their TV shows are really funny. I welcome you to watch the following video called 'Human Tetris'.

I am sure Alexey Pajitnov (Алексей Леонидович Пажитнов) would be proud of this :-) The Japanese TV variant is closer to Welltris than Tetris ;-)

P.S. Thanks Ari (Heinola) for this idea.

Indeed, Justin, let's stay in Paintball ;-)

Actually, my original comment about real life settings was related to 3D construction games. I have been fascinated about different forms, like in Tetris those building blocks.

One of the leading outdoors games manufacturer in Europe is currently Lappset. Their games are worth checking: http://www.lappset.com/ . Lappset will / has definitely learn(t) from many puzzle games.
