English-speaking literature currently dominates game and play studies. French-speaking researchers must necessarily read and write in English to study them. In the first chapter of such an approach, it is often mentioned that "play" refers to activity and "game" to the artefact. But there are subtleties that quickly undermine such a dichotomy. In this article, we propose a correspondence table between 18 items to help French-speaking researchers better understand English

Lately, many teachers have shown interest in using escape games with their students. However, few studies have been conducted to assess their learning efficiency compared to other teaching methods.

The experimental group (71 students) has been exposed to new information through an escape game. The control group (71 students

ABSTRACT. This paper proposes to question one of the criteria proposed by Roger Caillois to define both play and game. This criterion is the 4th in relation to unproductivity. Based on the datagame, a game category belonging to the Serious Game, we propose a hypothetic- deductive approach to analyze this fourth criterion. At the same time, this process let us to explore the concept of datagame and the identification of benefits for the players.

At the same time, by studying these different models, we can identify the extent to which the use of games and, by extension, serious games ar

SummaryBased on research on a serious game used for training purposes, this chapter aims to analyze knowledge transfer related to emotional labor between gaming and work situations. After defining emotional labor, it discusses issues related to the use of a serious game as mediation; whether or not it is accepted; and whether it contributes to the possibility of better regulating emotions. The results suggest that knowledge transfer, in and around work situations, is related more to the acceptan
