“…This impacts their sense of connectedness, a factor considered important for success in higher education. The results of this research are also in line with the results that the implementation of games in campus introductions provides an alternative means for new students to get to know the surrounding environment [10]. Games have also been implemented to improve the quality of learning in universities in the health sector.…”

The increasing number of study programs is of course commensurate with the support of the facilities and infrastructure owned by the Creative Media State Polytechnic campus. These facilities were built to support both academic and non-academic activities. This research aims to develop the first 3D game as a digital promotional media orientation on the introduction of the Polimedia campus. Games are a digital medium that continues to develop, especially during the 2019 Covid pandemic. Game is a combination of multimedia and interaction that has proven successful in attracting user attention compared to other digital media. This research was developed with the following stages, namely initialization consisting of game idea research. Research on appropriate game genres, pre-production, production which consist of programming and modeling, and testing including functional testing and testing on users who have the potential to use this game for validation. Based on the data obtained, the overall value of positive perceptions is 70.68%, while negative perceptions weigh 29.32%. This percentage shows that from a user perspective, the game being developed meets user expectations and its objectives. This game is quite capable of motivating users to play and gain a learning experience, exploring campus in a fun way. Keywords: development, game, promotion, campus, orientation

“…Digital games can promote students' learning achievement and retention of mathematics, Yang & Chen (19) . Some studies have found that students have a positive attitude towards using computer games for learning (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) . DGL has been found to promote enjoyment (26,27) , reduce anxiety and boredom (26) , increase motivation for learning and academic achievement (12,16,22,25,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) , and increase student engagement and interest in learning (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41) .…”

Objective: To determine how a scaffolding-fused digital game impacted primary school students' enjoyment and engagement in Mathematics. Method: This experimental study was carried out with two groups of primary students. The experimental group was taught using the scaffolding fused digital game-based learning, whereas the control group was taught with the conventional method. The instruments used in this study were pre and post-interviews, and, pre and post-observations. The data were analysed using independent t-tests, matched pair t-tests and a One-way Analysis of Covariance. Findings: The results revealed statistically significant differences concerning enjoyment (F = 34.373, P < .05) and engagement (F = 6.498, P < .05) in mathematics learning at 0.01. The enjoyment and engagement of students in the experimental group were much higher than that of the control group. Novelty: As a result of technological advancement, games play an essential role in mathematics education today. Affective factors, precisely emotions, have been widely recognised as influential elements contributing to enjoyment engagement and achievement in the learning process. Engaged learners are motivated, inspired, and eager to put effort into their learning. Keywords: Scaffolding, Enjoyment, Engagemen, Digital game based learning
