The game; is loved by all - either young or old, kids or adult - especially the most popular one today; video games. It is one of the go-to-stress-reliever to relax their nerves after long school days or stressful work times. Many types of research have indicated that games actually benefit us in many different ways. Increased cognitive flexibility and problem-solving skills improvement are the most noticeable benefits. Some companies even use games as a tool in their pre-employment testing or to develop managerial skills for executives. United States' Navy, for example, is using a simulation game named Cyberciege to increase effectiveness and efficiency of their staffs to respond to cyber threats. On the flip side, some researchers said that excessive gaming will cause increased aggression and brutal behaviors. On top of that, since our education system is centered around National Examination, very few of the existing games today are actually helpful for students to overcome the hurdle. These contradicting points will become the basis of this thesis, in a form of an educational video game which not only fun but also helps them prepare for the dreaded National Examination.
