As we continue building e-learning courses for our students, we constantly try to introduce more educational games which children (and adults) enjoy. Recently, we have been working on creating Mazes.

To use mazes as educational games, we have used the following approach: the target is the answer to a question displayed on top. For example, if the question is 2+1, the answer 3 (and confounding choices like 5 and 6) are at the end of the maze. The student drags an object to the answer without touching the walls — if the walls are touched, the object goes back to the starting point.
Advantages of Maze Games
Mazes provide several advantages as educational games. Apart from the fun element that motivates children to learn, mazes teach students how to navigate paths and follow directions (go up, go left) in a context where the child is motivated to win rather than following a dull lecture. We have started by implementing mazes in addition and division in our Maths courses, and will be using them to teach other concepts as well.
