Resumen
Understanding which and how attributes impact player experience can contribute to designing more tailored tools, providing concerns on how to improve these. However, there is a gap in the understanding of what impacts learners’ experience when interacting with Educational Games (EG) featuring Procedural Content generation (PCG) as these have been scantly used together. This article presents an empirical study on which attributes impact both math’s and game’s curiosity of players when interacting with an EG that uses PCG. The results show the attributes that led to higher or lower curiosity, as well aswhich of them are associated with it. Hence, advancing the understanding of what drives players’ curiosity, contributing to the design of EG that feature PCG.
