Hamari, Koivisto, and Sarsa (2014) have suggested that what people learn ingames “can be used by teachers to enhance their teaching and better prepare students fortechnology-based society” (Keramidas, 2010). Serious games can be designed to motivate andengage users (Gee, 2003) to master class material, demonstrated by their performance on quizzesand tests. Serious games are capable of doing this through characteristics that can challengeplayers with constraints through rules (Dörner, Göbel, Effelsberg, & Wiemeyer, 2016). Whenfinely tuned, the rules of a game set the player at performing just above their perceived level ofskill in a challenge, and they remain in a state of flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990), feelingrewarded for continuing to play
