Data analysis was performed with the help of SPSS23 considering mean, percentage, standard deviation and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, binomial, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The findings of this study showed that more than 80% of students approved the simplicity and usefulness of the interactive game content and were generally satisfied with its use. More than 70% confirmed the existence of constructive interaction in this type of content.
