Mobile learning game mechanics should connect to social experiences and tap into all of the affordances of mobile devices, such as the ability to:
Take pictures
Record audio and video
Obtain location-based information (e.g., via GPS),
Text
Communicate through social media
Communicate via phones (probably the least utilized potential of these devices)
Additionally, activities should be tied to locations that are relevant to the learners (e.g., schools, popular clubs, relevant workplace environments) (Maxl & Tarkus, n.d.).
