Trabajo Regular presentado en CoSECiVi'14. Resumen: Don Quixote is the main character of the famous novel writ- ten by Miguel de Cervantes originally entitled The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. In this paper, we propose a serious game to relive the adventures of this character. The axis of our game will be the Cervantist world. Following the novel structure we will consider the chapters independently and for each chapter we will reproduce the narrated adventure in a realistic 3D scenario where Don Quixote and Sancho Panza have to face different challenges. These challenges will be presented as mini-games with variety enough to maintain the attention of the player and avoid boring him doing the same action for a long time. To introduce the game we will give a detailed description of the most known chapter of the novel that relates how Don Quixote fights windmills that he imagines to be giants.
