The Rise of Playful Education 

Imagine a world where learning is as exciting as unwrapping presents on Christmas morning. That’s what game-based learning is bringing to the table.

Recent studies have shown that the game-based learning market is increasing in popularity:

• The market is growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 21.6%.

Why is Game-Based Learning So Popular?

• Immediate Feedback: Just like elves get instant joy from a well-made toy, students get immediate feedback in educational games, helping them learn faster.
• Safe Environment to Fail: Games allow kids to try again without the feeling of failure.
