Pervasive games, are games that are played in real life. An example of this would be Assassination which is a game where people are given a target that they have to "kill" using much weapons such a nerf guns, the aim of assassination is tom be the last assassin alive. This game is very popular among university campus' many of which have their own "guilds. Games such as assassination have never appealed to me, i can understand why some people play them and they are a good way to socialize but they have always felt childish to me.
There are some issues with pervasive games however as although these games can be extremely fun for the people who are playing them and the people that are participating in the overall game they can cause some problems if members of the public get the wrong impression if they see two players of the game and witness the "assassination". However this is often not the case as the weapons that are used cannot really be mistaken as actual weapons and it cannot be mistaken for a genuine act of violence.
