            Abstract : 
In this paper we propose a hybrid of video games and classical outdoor games to address two issues: first the health related concern and second making the game as entertaining as video and computer games. Our proposed solution consists of tangible tiles with the capability of interacting with the user and each other. In addition to this the paper also contributes a genetic algorithm (GA) based approach to create interesting games for the proposed platform. The initial survey conducted in this regard show the idea to be very promising in defining next generation´s entertainment and games.
