Abstract

This article presents a digital game developed to teach the history of Ancient Greece to middle school students. Created on the Unity 3D platform and guided by curricular parameters, the game provides a playful immersion into historical events and Greek mythology. The development followed an iterative-incremental agile methodology, allowing continuous adjustments based on feedback from tests conducted in public schools. The game's interactive environment plays a significant role in the students' teaching-learning process. Initial results highlight the effectiveness of digital games in history education and the importance of technology in education.
