Abstract

Journey to Merdeka" is a creative and educational board game designed to teach Malaysian history in a fun and engaging way. The game takes players on an exciting journey from "Colonial Malaysia" to "Merdeka Square," where they compete to reach the end by answering questions and overcoming challenges related to key historical events and figures. Players roll dice to move along a path filled with "History Spots" that represent significant moments in Malaysia's past, such as the Malacca Sultanate or the Formation of Malaysia. Correct answers allow players to move forward, while incorrect ones may set them back. The first player to reach Merdeka Square wins the game and earns the title of "History Hero." This game offers a unique and interactive approach to learning, making history accessible and enjoyable for students and players of all ages. Supporting Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education), "Journey to Merdeka" promotes inclusive and equitable learning opportunities. While similar concepts might exist on a small scale, "Journey to Merdeka" is a fresh, innovative idea with potential for both classroom use and broader educational purposes.
