In the past two decades, video games have been a major source of entertainment for people of all ages and have been especially attractive to children. Trying to capitalize on the engagement the children have with this rather new medium, people have attempted to add some educational value to them, in varying amounts, thus creating the term Edutainment. This thesis is an implementation of this concept, wherein the goal is to make a video game that appeals to young children and attempts to present them with information about a subject (geology) while also including some brain puzzles. The game consists of a world that’s split into different areas, each with its own unique activity that the player must complete, and through these activities either exercise their thinking skills or learn something new. All of the models, activities, and mechanics in the game have been chosen and adjusted for young children (colorful, easy, slow-paced).
