IJsfontein's first game in which players gain knowledge about physics
Challenge
How can we teach physics to players in a playful way?
The first serious game developed by IJsfontein was Meesters van Macht. In this serious game, children have to use laws of physics to complete tasks.
Solution
In Meesters van Macht, the Meester van Toeval has lost his cat and the player is tasked with finding it. To find the cat, the player must collect five pages from the Tuin van Toeval book by solving puzzles.
These five pages can be found in the rooms of the physics masters: gravity, light, electricity, time and heat. The puzzles in these rooms focus on the topics of physics. For example, in the room of heat, the player has to fry pancakes without letting them burn. Once they complete all the tasks, Meester van Toeval gets his cat back.
Impact
After playing Meesters van Macht, children have gained more knowledge about physics in a playful way. Meesters van Macht is one of the first serious games that has ever been developed. This award-winning debut positioned IJsfontein in the serious gaming market. Meesters van Macht won a BAFTA and a La Fleche d'Or Playful.
