The document discusses using games to promote reflective awareness and testing game design as a tool for reflection. The researchers aim to support reflective experiences through games, gather feedback from players, and ensure the games remain fun. Their strategy is to design reflection into the gaming experience as a research instrument and use player feedback for systematic refinement. Some examples mentioned are embedding writing activities into educational games to promote social and private reflection. The researchers seek to contact players to discuss questions.

Even this could be considered to be embedded in the larger game context.
