Abstract: This article focuses on the role of situatedness through the concept of dérive in game-based learning to increase one's awareness regarding the memory embedded in built environment. A newly designed game, Memory Hunt based on the system and rules of Treasure Hunt, is utilized with the aim of increasing the architecture students' awareness regarding the sites of memory in the case of İzmir Kültürpark. During the game, students detach from their existing pattern and begin to experience the space from a different perspective. The use of the dérive theory of the Situationist International provides a valuable framework for the study in analysing survey results of the students' changing memory of the selected site before and after the game. The results of the research indicate that the game not only enriches participants' perspectives on the chosen locations and increases their awareness regarding the collective memory of urban space, but also makes them create their unique psychogeographical maps.
