Game practitioner
The profession appears before 2020
Organizer, creator of, and guide to, game universes in real and virtual spaces. Urban quests are now popular, from the Running City to games like Claustrophobia, designed for confined spaces. There are also alternate reality games (ARG), with very fuzzy boundaries between the real world and the game. Games like those will only spread in the future.
