Smart cities make use of information technologies to improve performance and quality of urban services, to decrease costs and to optimize resources, besides to involve citizens actively. However, many citizens do not know all the services and advantages that a smart city offers to them. In this work, we make use of a geogame to involve them in different cities and, by playing with real services, increase their knowledge about smart cities.
