  • This report provides information about an interactive computer-based game named Nomenclature Bets and its utilization in the form of a tournament as a didactic strategy to enhance the students’ interest in their studies of nomenclature of organic compounds. The game allows high school and first-year undergraduate students to review, in pairs, the nomenclature of organic compounds in a fun and engaging competition by answering up to 650 multiple-choice questions. Students’ opinions have been quite positive, and they consider the game to be a complementary innovative didactic tool. Nomenclature Bets is available online via a Web browser free of charge in Portuguese, Spanish, and English.
