Abstract
The use of video games as pedagogical tools that can be used within the classroom has been an initiative that has been in use for a few years with special emphasis since 2000. Therefore, using methodologies and tools that motivate students is an interest of the educational field. However, it is important to delve into the benefits of video games as educational materials that can motivate students. In addition, the motivation within a video game entails that the student can not only remember the facts and characters, but also that they have the initiative to ask or know more about it, which is extremely useful for active learning. This study aims to design a video game that improves students’ motivation on the history of Peru. The game focuses on the historical figure of Mariano Melgar, hero forerunner of the independence.
