ABSTRACT
We designed a new genre of gaming that is rhythm-based, cooperative, physical and involves role-playing. In the game, three players as a team combat monsters by waving physical weapons on certain beats of the background music. The game requires a collective effort, as each player plays a certain role that is responsible for attacking, healing or defending respectively. To defeat the monster, the three players need to wave the physical weapons according to the rhythm of a six-beat waltz, which encourages cooperation and promotes pro-social behaviors.
