History subject is one of the subjects required to pass the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination set by the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE). With rapid technology growth, more educational uses and dedicated virtual worlds focused on education will begin to evolve, encouraging new and more advanced learning scenarios, allowing the development of analytical skills and greater reflection. History is often associated as a dry and boring subject due to the high factual content and horizontal storytelling in the classroom resulting in the subject of history as one of the subjects that are less preferred by students. To overcome this situation, a game-based learning is a good approach in line with the development of technology today. S.A.Q RPG (Sejarah Awesome Quest Role-Playing Game) is a game-based learning medium which focus in using game to familiarize and increase students understanding of history concept. This game is built by using ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) model and the development is done by using Unity software. A survey will be done for 40 students in the evaluation stage to asses effectiveness of the proposed game. It is believed that historical educational games can be used as an opportunity to facilitate the study of history in an enjoyable atmosphere.
