In recent years, the mobile game market has shown remarkable performance, especially the upsurge of simulation games which mainly targeted at Generation Z. This paper takes Picturesque Panorama of Jiangnan, a renowned simulation game in China, as a case study and focuses on the interactive participation of its players. The author conducted in-depth interviews with 15 consumers of this game and comprehensive discussions on their interactive behavior, identity and willingness to participate based on the Grounded Theory, and tries to build a model of influencing factors to explain the relationship between the three and summarizes the characteristics of interactive participation of Generation Z in simulation games: replayable, recordable and concealable.
