Abstract :A long with the development of technology, mobile devices have started to take place in every aspect of life. One of these is entertainment sector thanks to the visual and interactive interface of these devices. However, by their accessibility and ease of use, mobile devices have extremely simplified touching to entertainment which has led to waste of time for people, especially children. It is crucial for children to divert their wasting time to education in terms of their development. That can be viable with turning the education into fun. In this work, we aim to develop a mobile application which enables children to learn about the cities in their country with pleasure. Integrating game and education, this application will ensure the children recognize the historical, geographical and cultural features of the cities. In the game, children start an exploration from a city. They proceed by travelling over cities using a map while they both enjoy and learn.
