This study examines the impact of Elemental Quest, a board game designed to improve students' understanding of chemistry concepts, particularly periodic trends and properties. The game follows the ADDIE instructional design framework, integrating interactive and hands-on elements to address common learning challenges. Teachers evaluate the game’s design, usability, and educational value, giving high ratings for its design (Mean = 4.82), rules and mechanics (Mean = 4.90), and employability as a learning material (Mean = 4.93), praising its clear structure and visual appeal. Students also respond positively, scoring the game highly for competence (Mean = 3.34), flow (Mean = 3.48), and positive affect (Mean = 3.47), reflecting its engaging and immersive learning experience. Statistical analysis confirms its effectiveness, with post-test scores (Mean = 28.2) significantly surpassing pre-test scores (Mean = 8.81) and achieving a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 4.75; t = 40.33, p < 0.001). The results show that students prefer collaborative, hands-on learning experiences, which the Elemental Quest effectively delivers. By blending interactive gameplay with educational content, the board game successfully enhances student learning while encouraging a positive and supportive environment. The study recommends adding features to further improve immersion and engagement, ensuring an even more dynamic learning experience.
