We can not close our eyes and request games to be forbidden: games are part of our culture, the new form of storytelling and social interaction for younger generations. We should use that fact to build motivation around literacy and reading. This paper describes a Near Field Communication (NFC) based multiplayer mixed reality game “The Literature Race” that motivates the children to find information about books, apply that information in teams to solve the challenges in the game and finally get familiar with libraries.
