Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country located on the Malay Peninsula and the island of Borneo. Malaysia is a multicultural nation with, without a doubt, a rich cultural heritage with Bahasa Malaysia as the main language used. However, the declining knowledge of Malaysians raises concerns. This study addresses the lack of appreciation for Malaysia by developing a 2D game, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of the game. The Agile methodology employed in the development of the game allows for continuous feedback and improvement, ensuring that the content remains relevant and up-to-date. The effectiveness evaluation testing will use a pre-survey and post-survey questionnaire to evaluate the effectiveness of the game. The findings suggest that the game is effective with an average mean of 4.2. As the project progresses, future iterations of the game can incorporate updates, and feedback from users, ensuring its continued relevance and effectiveness as an educational tool.
