THE METHOD

Pictoplanet presents an innovative approach called F.U.G (Flipped-up Gaming), based on the idea that playing video games (as the immersive virtual reality they are) is a modern consequence of the ancient role of games in shaping cultures. The approach focuses in using interactive media platforms to make constructivist learning more familiar to kids.

Playing games is fun, no matter how old you are. And amusement is a proven way of acquiring new skills. Competing with others or with ourselves to master a discipline augments our levels of satisfaction. In these kinds of interactions we become more aware of our expertise and get involved with the process.

In a game where communicational skills are required to master both the narrative and the mechanics, children feel themselves compelled to improve the character’s vocabulary in order to advance in the story; thus, the learning process is more organic and does not stop the fun.

The characters

Pictoplanet combines a RPG immersive plot with the appeal of adventure games and puzzles in a magical world full of fantastic creatures and endearing characters that reminds us of relevant personalities of our culture.
