How much does an educational game cost?

Simple gamified quizzes start from £10,000, while full curriculum-aligned simulations range from £50,000 to £150,000+. We also offer maintenance retainers for school deployments.

What is the difference between "Gamification" and "Serious Games"?

Gamification adds game-like elements (points, badges, leaderboards) to non-game contexts to boost engagement. Serious Games are fully immersive video games designed primarily to teach a specific skill or curriculum (like Navigo or Word Fun World). We specialize in developing both.

Do you work with educational experts to ensure the content is accurate?

Yes. We have extensive experience collaborating with pedagogical experts, curriculum designers, and academic institutions (such as Cambridge University Press and the BBC). We build the game mechanics around your learning objectives to ensure the gameplay reinforces the education, rather than distracting from it.

Can you integrate the games with our Learning Management System (LMS)?

Yes. We can build back-end systems that track student progress, playtime, and quiz results, and then export that data to your internal dashboards or LMS. This allows teachers and administrators to monitor engagement and learning outcomes in real-time.

Do you build games for specific age groups (e.g., K-12 vs. Adult Learning)?

Absolutely. Designing for a 6-year-old requires completely different UX/UI and accessibility standards than designing for corporate training. We conduct focus testing with target demographics to ensure the interface, difficulty curve, and art style are age-appropriate and compliant with child data protection laws.

Can these games run on school hardware (Chromebooks/Tablets)?

Yes. We typically build educational titles in Unity or HTML5 (WebGL) to ensure they are cross-platform. This means your game can run smoothly on low-spec school Chromebooks, iPads, Android tablets, and web browsers without requiring high-end gaming PCs.

Educational Game Development

Engaging EdTech Game Solutions

We build serious games and gamified learning experiences for institutions that need more than an off-the-shelf quiz app. Our portfolio includes award-winning projects for Cambridge University Press, BBC, and universities across Europe. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with pedagogical experts and curriculum designers to ensure gameplay reinforces — rather than distracts from — the learning objectives. From language-learning apps to history simulations, every title is focus-tested with real learners and built with our Unity development expertise.

Our Educational Design Methodology

We don’t just “gamify” textbooks. We design interactive systems that reinforce learning outcomes. Our process ensures that the entertainment value supports the pedagogy, rather than distracting from it.

1. Curriculum Mapping & Discovery

We start by understanding what needs to be taught. We work with your subject matter experts (SMEs) to map game mechanics directly to your syllabus or learning objectives.

Learning Objectives: Defining clear goals (e.g., “Student must master vocabulary X”).
Curriculum Alignment: Ensuring content matches specific academic standards (e.g., KS2, Common Core, or University modules).
Audience Profiling: Analysing the age group to determine appropriate reading levels, art styles, and cognitive load.

2. Co-Design & Prototyping

Educational games fail if they aren’t tested early. We build rapid prototypes to verify that the gameplay actually teaches the concept effectively.

Pedagogical Review: Regular check-ins with teachers or educational consultants to ensure accuracy.
Student Focus Groups: Testing early builds with real learners to identify confusion or engagement drop-offs.
Iterative Refinement: Tweaking the difficulty curve to keep students in the “Zone of Proximal Development” (not too hard, not too boring).

3. Inclusive & Accessible Development

Schools require inclusivity. We build games that can be played by students of varying abilities and on varying hardware.

WCAG Compliance: Designing for accessibility, including colour-blind friendly modes, text-to-speech support, and scalable text.
Hardware Optimisation: Ensuring smooth performance on low-spec devices like Chromebooks, older iPads, and school desktops.
Cross-Platform Architecture: Building a single Unity codebase that deploys seamlessly to WebGL, Mobile, and Desktop.

4. Integration & Classroom Deployment

A game is useless if a teacher can’t set it up. We handle the technical integration into your existing school systems.

LMS Integration: Connecting the game to systems like Moodle, Canvas, or Blackboard via xAPI or SCORM to track grades.
Teacher Dashboards: Creating simple backend views where educators can monitor student progress and identify strugglers.
Privacy by Design: Ensuring all data architecture is fully compliant with GDPR-K and COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act).
