Abstract:
This paper presents an exploratory study that relates hedonic and pragmatic aspects of audience engagement to playable stories on different interactive media. Eighteen participants discussed their individual experiences with three different interactive adaptations of Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland. The paper illustrates the initial findings of how fun, attraction, excitement, satisfaction, and frustration, as facets of audience engagement, are shaped by different attributes that are related to the affordances of each medium.
