Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we are convinced of it. Here's what science has to say about it: A meta-analysis of existing publications from 2013 by Wouters et. al. titled "A meta-analysis of the cognitive and motivational effects of serious games" determined the influence of learning games on motivation and learning success and was able to demonstrate significantly better results for learning success. According to the study, the influence on motivation is also positive. Furthermore, it has been observed that the aspects of game design influence the effectiveness. Since we also develop pure entertainment games in addition to serious games or learning games, we can make gameplay mechanics particularly motivating, for example through the physicality of the interation with the balloons - which was also rewarded in the player test.
We develop not only learning games, but also entertainment games. We are convinced that learning success and motivation depend on learning games also being fun. Like this, learners of all ages stay tuned - and we can offer that through our expertise in the entertainment sector. With us, fun comes first. This is what transports the learning content - this way we can motivate children to learn even in this day and age when social media captures a lot of attention.
We do not collect usage data, nor do we play ads, as we believe that children should learn in a safe and controlled environment. This is only possible in a sustainable way if we charge a purchase price that finances the development. Since we ourselves would often like to have this option with other providers, we offer our game in this form.
Of course! Our recommendation is, if iPads are available for the students, to purchase class sets at a reduced educational price via the Apple educational discount. We are also happy to make you a suitable offer for a PC/Mac version or offer the option to purchase individual licenses for use in schools via Steam or itch.io. As from version 1.1, the game now features a dedicated mode for educational institutions. Please reach out for more details: schools@timestableshunt.com
