Augmented Reality Audio Games are rapidly gaining popularity and technological advancement, offering a new dimension of entertainment and accessibility to players by enriching the real world with virtual auditory information. Mystic Isle: in search of the golden lyre is representative of this category, focusing on exploring the cultural heritage of Corfu.

Throughout the game, players interact with significant historical figures who provide various insights into the unfolding narrative intertwined with information on themselves and historical landmarks. To witness the audio events players need to be not only in specific places, but also at specific times. Thus, the common audio augmented reality practice of utilizing space as a gameplay element is combined with a novel approach of including time as a decisive factor as well.
