Before analyzing game appropriations in more detail, it is important to know whether or not the respondents liked math or gaming, as this can influence their perception of the game. Three out of eight respondents reported in the diaries that they
liked math. However, with the exception of respondent 2, forthese players, the most fun part of the game was not located in the mini games. Only respondent 2 replayed the mini games separately from the main game narrative because they were the most fun part of the game. All other respondents expressed no preference (two respondents), or thought the 3D world was more fun (five respondents), instead of the educational mini games. Concerning the respondents’ experience with (educational) games, only one respondent did not play on a regular basis (less than one time per week); the other seven respondents played (non-educational) video games on PC or game consoles at least a few times per week.
