Learning media encompasses the various materials or tools used in the teaching-learning process to help students understand and master the subject matter. Primary education plays a crucial role in shaping students' knowledge and skills for the future. Teachers often fail to utilize engaging learning media, causing students to lose interest in learning. Game based learning is an innovation capable of boosting student interest in learning. The use of game-based learning media has garnered attention from many teachers and researchers as a creative alternative to enhance student interest and academic achievement. Educational games offer an interactive and enjoyable learning experience featuring elements such as challenges, narratives, and feedback, which are expected to increase student engagement and motivation.
