Chemical elements surround us, closely related to our health and safety. These elements are an integral part of our daily lives.

"Adventure with Element" is a game designed to introduce the concept of chemical elements through gameplay, assisting students in absorbing knowledge more rapidly in their future learning. Additionally, the game aims to inspire students' interest and knowledge in chemistry, sparking motivation for active learning. We have integrated Augmented Reality (AR) technology, allowing players to scan blocks and cards to view each elemental sprite's appearance and synthesis animations. This enhances players' impressions of each element.

In the game, each element exists as an elemental sprite. Each elemental sprite becomes a distinct and individual entity through the unique design of each element's chemical properties, items that can be produced using the element, and the origin of its name.

Players take on the role of newly formed elemental sprites, encountering numerous elemental sprites along their journey. Players gradually integrate into the elemental family as they complete tasks, eventually becoming a specific element. This journey becomes a unique and personalized story that belongs exclusively to each player.
