Yes it is not just boring, students will learn to have fun and learn at the same time. But thats not all of it. There is still more about this game that is very benficial.

While you are on your adventure to save stone broke, (a fun rock) You learn many things along the way. Though to make sure you are getting what you are learning, there are little quizzes that you take to get your pay check. If you get a high score in your quiz, you get a pay check.
