Abstract :
Educational games mostly target children, often neglecting adults. To find out if adults are interested in educational games, we created and displayed one in an exhibition and used it to collect and study the audience´s feedback and reactions toward such games. At the end of the experiment we found out that adult´s interest in educational games changes depending on their age, and that they the will and desire to play such games if provided.
