We introduce Spooky Spirits, an AR game that makes novel use of everyday smart home devices to support co-located play. Recent exploration of co-located AR experiences consists mainly of digital visual augmentations on mobile or head-mounted screens. In this work, we leverage widely adopted smart lightbulbs to expand AR capabilities beyond the digital and into the physical world, further leveraging the physicality of users' shared environment.
