| Summary: | Pedagogical games in chemistry teaching can contribute to learning, as they provide a playful environment, where the student has fun and learns. This work aims to analyze the game Escape Room (escape room) as a pedagogical game in the light of game theory, using the Functions of the Pedagogical Game as categories of analysis. Characteristics of this game such as richness, dynamism and innovation, in a mystery environment, in which students need to solve riddles to escape from a certain location are present in the Escape Room. The Public were students of the Degree in Chemistry at the Federal Institute of Goiás (IFG), the contents addressed were from the first year of high school. The research is characterized as qualitative. Data were analyzed using the Content Analysis method. The results show that it is possible to identify the functions of the pedagogical game, Evaluative Educational Function, diagnostic capacity of the game, Formative Educational Function, ability of the game to promote conceptual discussion, Immersive Playful Function, ability of the game to promote immersion, Moral Playful Function, ability of the game to allow students to play as equals, respecting the rules and the Teacher's Balance Function, responsible for balancing the four functions. |
