Abstract
The concept of educational games is to aid students in understanding various subjects in an interactive and engaging environment. Subjects like mathematics have continued to pose a challenge to many secondary school students in developing countries like Nigeria as seen from recent low performance in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE). Lack of interest is one of the key factors that contribute to the low performance hence there is need for a system that can help to improve student’s interest in mathematics and subsequently their rate of success. The goal of this study is thus to develop an educational game software to help stimulate students’ interest in mathematics and to also help them in understanding and improving their performance in the subject. The game was created by leveraging on the Unity game engine platform and the programming language used for development was C#.
