The Game

Welcome to the Land of Venn: a far away universe where funny little monsters have set out to destroy Van Hiele, a rock-guitar playing Elegast from the waters of the Western Scheldt.YOU have been charged with the honor of saving The Land of Venn. Should you choose to accept it, you will defend Van Hiele, and save the Land of Venn from utter destruction by the hands of the evil wizard Apeirogon who lives atop the Dark Square Root. Use ancient knowledge gained from Lumbricus the Wizard Worm to save us all. With knowledge comes power and the ability to learn and earn more gold and gain access to more powerful wisdom and magical spells.

Sneakily teaches geometry step by step without the child even realizing it.

Deals with Van Heile's Levels of Geometric Thought (2-3) while continuously engaging the student.

The Child will draw over 5000 geometrical shapes while being continuely exposed to a variety of geometric terms and principles over 5000 times.

A subtle yet adaptive learning system aimed at the child for successful and meaningful learning process.

Mesmerizing gameplay and an original plot captivates the child in a unique and exciting world of monsters and magic juice.

What's it About

The pedagogic innovative part of this game is its ability to combine two major theories of teaching mathematics.

First, the game’s flow follows Van Hiele's Levels of Geometric Thought, as it allows for bridges to be built at any moment for the child to cross – analyzing shapes, understanding their layout and the hierarchy between them, as opposed to being locked in a remedial thinking pattern of just recognizing shapes.

The hierarchy between shapes and the relationship between the shape and its characteristics are learned intuitively.

Breakthrough "Gameducation"

The game and the “learning” do not stop with the child’s passive accumulation of knowledge, and pattern recognition. In accordance with Bloom's taxonomy, the game requires the child’s understanding and application while analyzing a constantly changing situation throughout the game.

While the child is immersed and focused on finishing the different levels of the game, they are exposed to mathematical concepts hundreds of times and practice thousands of geometric shapes with constant shape manipulation, all the while, rediscovering the basic characteristics and principles of geometry.

Estimation & Strategy

While the game concentrates on teaching geometry, the store is designed to optimally develop the child's arithmetic capabilities of estimation, knowledge of numbers as well as using the decimal system.

Throughout each stage of the game, the child is invited to the Wizard Wall to buy magical spells and gain knowledge. The ability to purchase four magical spells each time requires the child to develop the ability to estimate numbers for maximizing their money's fullest potential, while preparing them for real-world activities such as purchasing items with a shopping cart at a store.
