'''Négone''' was a Spanish proprietary [[augmented reality]] [[Live action role-playing game|role playing experience]] played at a facility in [[Madrid]].
==  Description ==
In a physical indoor space, an adventure was played out in themed rooms and scenes. The player went through the scenes, interacting with the environment to accomplish the goals of the game. This the player accomplished through physical tasks and by solving puzzles, earning points towards the success of the mission. Time for tasks was limited.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2005/nov/17/guardianweeklytechnologysection Let's get physical], [[The Guardian]] 17 November 2005</ref>
Before entering the game, each player was given a small wristband computer which allowed them to interact with the environment. It also allowed the system to gather information about user actions using [[RFID]] and [[infrared]] technologies.<ref name=wired>[https://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.03/lafuga.html The Great Escape], [[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] March 2006</ref>
