Abstract

Abstract Chemical Quest is an innovative trivia game based on the 102 elements of the periodic table from H to No, developed collaboratively by upper secondary school and university teachers with the aim of increasing the interest of young students (age 14–18) in chemistry. As part of the project, a software version of the game was successfully played in 24 classes. ‘Challenging, sometimes difficult, highly instructive, relaxing, captivating, ….’ are some of the positive comments by students and teachers. In addition, Chemical Quest was conceived to be adaptable since the rules can be modified and the cards can be selected to match the educational objective.
