Abstract
In recent years, there has been an evolving trend in designing educational applications that aim at portraying difficult topics, based on daily children habits. It is well-known that video and computer games are a reality in our children’s routine, and why not to take advantage of their gaming skills and apply them in the educational arena? Additionally, why not taking also advantage of another well-known artifact, stories? Since early childhood each of us is capable of telling a story about his/her own life, thus why not to shape the educational application. Taking these facts into account, we present in this paper a present an educational application, in the format of a game that aims to portray basic math concepts (6th grade) and has its flow and evolution crafted as an interactive story.
