Numerous studies support that games and game mechanics enhance learning outcomes and skill development. We created a list of examples of games that showcase the ability of games to offer engagement, active learning, immediate feedback, skill development, adaptivity, teamwork, and risk-taking.

-A study by the University of Michigan found that students who played an educational game were more engaged in the learning process and had higher levels of motivation than those who learned through traditional methods. The study found that games can increase motivation and engagement by making learning more enjoyable and interactive.

-A meta-analysis of studies on game-based learning published in the journal Computers & Education found that game-based learning was associated with higher levels of student engagement and active participation compared to traditional classroom instruction. The study found that games can promote active learning by requiring students to interact with the material and make decisions in real time.

-A study published in the International Journal of Game-Based Learning found that immediate feedback in educational games can improve learning outcomes. The study found that games with immediate feedback can help students identify areas where they need improvement and adjust their approach accordingly.

-A study published in the journal Nature found that video games can improve problem-solving skills by allowing players to experiment and learn from their mistakes. The study found that players who engaged in trial-and-error learning in video games were better at solving real-world problems.

-A study published in the journal Simulation & Gaming found that collaborative video games can improve social and communication skills in children. The study found that collaborative games can promote teamwork and problem-solving skills, as well as improve social skills such as communication and collaboration.
