Abstract
One of the most important cultures in Central America is the Mayan Culture, whose preservation is essential to keep the traditions alive. In this work, a video game with Mayan environment as a scenario is proposed. The objective is that the player acquires the necessary knowledge to deepen in this beautiful culture to obtain new experiences as a Mayan individual. The video game consists in a tour of several places with Mayan traditions where the user can collect coins to achieve points and learn important information about the civilization. We want the user to learn through entertainment technology and feel engaged by the Mayan culture.
