To develop this game, the following technologies were used:
• Create new quizzes through new areas of the Portuguese National Educational Program.
• Allow students to share their scores and launch challenges to other friends in the social networks.
• Create a back office, available to teachers of all subjects, where they can create their own questions and import them to the game quiz.
We believe that this game will increase student’s interest in ICT, allowing them to reinforce the learning of the contents discussed in the classroom, through an environment of challenge and trial in reaching new scores.
