Learning Games Research

I also need to research some learning games for techniques as how to make my game educational but not boring.

Elemental:
- It gives you choice of a player
- It's basically just a quiz game with a timer, styled like blockbusters, so not very interactive or fun

Questionaut:

- Intriguing design and characters

- Clever way of getting you to answer questions, to collect fuel for your balloon so you can go higher up the screen and find a lost item. If you get a question wrong, you lose some fuel

Whack Attack:

- More questions, but this time to click the correct answer you have to click on the corresponding coloured character when they pop up

After looking at some of the games, for my own I don't just want a quiz, because it can feel too educational. That's fine on the BBC Bitesize website but for The Deep it should be a bit more orientated around fun. Also their games are more about the testing of knowledge already known, and for this they might only just be starting to learn about it. I want to use the 'stealth learning' technique a little more than they do, and have a game where at the start and end of the levels you're given information to absorb.
