• Resumen

  • This article provides information about designing, implementing, and evaluating an online cooperative game─Vikings game─to assist high school and undergraduate students in reviewing contents related to thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, and chemical kinetics. It is a free-of-charge game and is available in both English and Portuguese. The game was introduced into the classroom as an educational review tool, offering an innovative approach to supplement traditional problem-solving classes. Also, upon evaluating student learning, it became evident that the game significantly contributed to educational enhancement. The learners expressed highly favorable opinions about the game, considering it an innovative and valuable complementary didactic tool.
