From Screen to Street: Bridging Digital Play and Physical Movement through an Interactive Parkour Game

This project developed a co-designed interactive game that merges digital play with real-world parkour, encouraging active lifestyles and reducing social isolation. By blending local identity with inclusive design, it will inspire players of all abilities to explore urban spaces and connect through movement.

This project aims to develop an interactive digital parkour game to engage the local community, reduce sedentary behaviour linked to excessive screen use, and build a connection between local parkour practitioners and the University of Plymouth. The game will use immersive design elements and location-based gameplay to motivate users to explore urban environments and, where possible, transition from virtual interaction to real-world physical activity.
