• Relation of game content to learning goals: Clear connection between the content of the
game and the desired learning goals throughout the entire game.
• Problem-solving characteristics: The game presents well-ordered, scaffolded problems that
allow players to work up to challenges. * Problems or tasks are not leveled from beginner to
advanced (age-related differentiation of players)
• Integration of knowledge content into the game: System thinking is promoted, and players
connect previously learned knowledge with new knowledge as they move through the game.
• Feedback/instruction: Feedback that supports players success during game play is presented
when needed but may provide too much information at one time.
