Learn fraction concepts in a short sci-fi escape-room educational game. Explore a huge realistic highly-detailed space station, solve puzzles using Star-Trek-like holographic terminals, and relax once a while to enjoy nice Earth views, which are getting nicer as you advance through the game.
## About This Game
This short game (20-60 mins gameplay) is designed to teach fraction concepts
in an exciting interactive sci-fi escape room based game. You explore a
derelict space station to restore its power, hack its terminals, and get to
your shuttle to save an endangered planet, while enjoying astonishing views of
Earth. The gameplay unfolds in a massive 16,000 sq ft highly-detailed space
station with over 20 sections across 5 floors and 8 game levels. While you
solve the challenges, you are learning and applying middle school math
fraction concepts in a step-by-step manner based on actual school syllabi.
Unlike most educational games, Galactic Protection Squad has been field-tested
on hundreds of students, and research shows measurable improvements in student
learning.
Educational Details:
This game examines the following curricular concepts in mathematics: simple
multiplication, balanced equations, whole numbers, parts of a whole number,
subtracting from a whole, and visual representations of simple fractions. In
the first 7 levels, players build their skills in these educational concepts
and the final level is an assessment, testing the player’s new knowledge.
There are altogether 40 concepts involving fractions in middle school math,
and future game episodes will complete the rest of these learning goals.
Visualizing and interacting with fractions is a struggle for many students, in
elementary, secondary, and university years. This game is a virtual reality
experience where students build kinesthetic intuition towards operations
involving fractions while engaging with problem-based activities in an
experiential setting. This adventure escape room based game allows students to
use their curiosity for solving the puzzles, which sequentially build the
skills necessary to understand, visualize and complete operations with
fractions.
