A gamified learning experience where the game mechanics carry the teaching.
MARS is a gamified learning experience delivered as a mobile game: education objectives expressed through game mechanics, with a multilingual surface.
Context
Gamified learning usually means a quiz with points bolted on. That is not a game, and learners can tell within about ninety seconds.
Problem
If the mechanic and the learning objective are separable, players optimise the mechanic and skip the learning. The teaching has to be the thing the player is actually doing.
Users
Learners playing on mobile, across more than one language.
Solution
A mobile game whose mechanics carry the educational content directly, built to work across languages rather than translated after the fact.
