摘要
Students beginning their studies at university face manifold problems such as orientation in a new environment and organizing their courses. This article presents the implementation and successful empirical evaluation of the pervasive browser-based educational game "FreshUP", which aims at helping to overcome the initial difficulties of freshmen. In contrast to a conventional scavenger hunt, mobile pervasive games like FreshUP, bridging in-game and real world activities, have the potential to provide help in a motivating manner using new technology which is currently becoming more and more common.
