NAIROBI, Kenya, July 11 – Gaming and digital tech company Viral Gorrrila has unveiled web-based games that will teach children about financial literacy, social skills, school curriculum lessons, and African history and culture.
The mobile web-based edutainment game platform targets primary-going school kids from grades one to six.
Dubbed ‘AMUA’, the Swahili term for decide, the platform is piloting a series of 10 games and animation stories designed to help children learn lessons through the journey of Kitu and her nomadic family, who are traveling across the continent of Africa on a fun adventure under the sun.
Players will immerse themselves in the history, culture, and stories of different countries across Africa as they play.
Through their adventures, each game played unlocks a new part of the story and reveals new mysteries.
“Our games are colorful, they have music, and they require physical interactions, not like sitting and just listening to a teacher for hours,” Viral Gorrrila founder and CEO Joyce Muthoni said.
“The kids learn by DOING, and that is so much more powerful. Amua Games are one-on-one interactions directly with each child, tailoring the content in the game specifically to the grade level of that child.”
