🎮 Morphoses Game Creation Guidelines

Every game must include a short introductory video.

The video should:

✅ Introduce the topic

✅ Create curiosity and excitement

✅ Provide context for the questions

✅ Present a challenge, mission, or story

Children engage much more when they understand why they are answering questions.

❌ “Answer the following questions about recycling.”

✅ “The city is covered in waste! Can you help the Eco Heroes save the environment?”

Children connect with stories much more than they connect with quizzes.

Give them a role:

🚀 Explorer

🕵️ Detective

🌍 Traveler

👩‍🔬 Scientist

🏆 Champion

🦸 Hero

The more immersive the experience, the higher the engagement.

Every game should include:

✅ High-quality visuals

✅ Images that support learning

✅ Colors and visual variety

✅ Icons and emojis where appropriate

Avoid:

❌ Large blocks of text

❌ Text-heavy screens

❌ Overcrowded layouts

Remember: children process visuals much faster than text.

Every question must include audio narration.

The recording should include:

🎤 The question

🎤 All answer choices

Many children in this age group are still developing reading fluency and should not be expected to read independently.

✅ Use simple language

✅ Use large images

✅ Include characters and stories

✅ Add sounds and playful elements

✅ Keep instructions short and clear

Avoid:

❌ Long text

❌ Complex instructions

❌ Abstract concepts without examples

Children at this age enjoy:

🔍 Mysteries

🗺️ Exploration

🏆 Challenges

🕵️ Problem-solving

🎭 Scenarios and role-playing

Use:

✅ Quests

✅ Missions

✅ Challenges

✅ Story-driven activities

Older learners need more complexity and intellectual challenge.

We have observed that they particularly enjoy:

🌍 Learning about different cultures

✈️ Exploring countries around the world

🏛️ History and civilization

🎬 Pop culture references

🧠 Ethical dilemmas

🚀 Technology and innovation

💡 Real-life situations and case studies

Avoid:

❌ Childish graphics

❌ Oversimplified questions

❌ Predictable activities

Use:

✅ Case studies

✅ Debates

✅ Scenario-based decision making

✅ Problem-solving challenges

Games should go beyond memorization. They should develop soft skills.

Games should feel dynamic and energetic.

Aim for:

✅ Quick interactions

✅ Frequent changes in activity

✅ Short and engaging questions

As a rule of thumb: If a question takes more than 30 seconds to read, it is probably too long.

Learning and enjoyment should go hand in hand.

Ask yourself:

✅ Will children smile while playing?

✅ Will they be surprised?

✅ Will they laugh?

✅ Will they feel proud when they finish?

If the answer is “no,” consider redesigning the activity.

The best games do not feel like tests.

They feel like adventures.

They feel like challenges.

They feel like missions.

They feel like experiences.

When children finish the game, we want them to say: 🎉 “When can we play the next
