Games enable the exploration of imaginary spaces and the manipulation of symbolic systems. This way players can create reviews when interacting with them: this continuous process is constantly forming critical thinking that manifests itself in the real world. In this way, game rhetoric assumes that games are expressive cultural artifacts capable of persuading and creating meaning that can result in long-term social change.This dissertation focuses on two types of persuasive games: serious games and art games. Serious games are able to give players new ways to learn skills and acquire knowledge with an implicit purpose. Art games are created by artists who act both for the aesthetic character - that provides players an experience of the gameplay - and for the deconstructive character - when transforming games that exist to create something new.This project's area of ​​action is that of learning: game rhetoric can be used advantageously for learning purposes. The Beaconing project stands as an opportunity to put the knowledge acquired into practice. It is a European project that aims to support fun, contextual and pervasive learning through a location-based system with game integration.In short, this dissertation proposes a learning-oriented framework, through the analysis of game rhetoric found at the intersection of serious games and art games, and presents a set of concepts that can be applied to Beaconing games in the future.
