N2  - Along with the development of technology, mobiledevices have started to take place in every aspect of life. One of these isentertainment sector thanks to the visual and interactive interface of thesedevices. However, by their accessibility and ease of use, mobile devices haveextremely simplified touching to entertainment which has led to waste of timefor people, especially children. It is crucial for children to divert theirwasting time to education in terms of their development. That can be viablewith turning the education into fun. In this work, we aim to develop a mobileapplication which enables children to learn about the cities in their countrywith pleasure. Integrating game and education, this application will ensure thechildren recognize the historical, geographical and cultural features of thecities. In the game, children start an exploration from a city. They proceed bytravelling over cities using a map while they both enjoy and learn.
