Gamification in education has been used for many years now to increase the efficiency, motivation, and knowledge retention of students worldwide.

Ramuk’s Adventure is the first game I created during my time at Gametize. As expected of anyone’s first game, it wasn’t exactly perfect, but what mattered most was the method of conceptualization and execution.

When we were assigned the task to choose a topic for our individual games, my mind first shot to the idea of “popularity”. It would be easier to attract people’s  by targeting what they like rather than to ignite an interest in a new topic. My first decision to be made was who was the target audience for my game. I concluded that the target audience I understood and related to the best would be teenagers since I was one myself.

Whodunnit is a classic murder mystery game where the player is the detective tasked to solve the murder. In this game, players will follow the flow of the investigation, from interrogation to looking for clues and at the end will be asked to come up with a verdict of who the murderer is.
