Abstract: Most of current virtual/augmented reality games focus on players' immersive experience. The creative process of game design is usually not accessible to the player. In this paper, we present a new game genre that combines player initiated game design with game play. This new genre enables users to design games in a physical space and then play in a rendered virtual space. To this aim we illustrate our conceptual design of a virtual reality game, called UbiMaze, which promotes player participation, and provides a rich, interactive and engaging experience.
