Mobile game technology is growing rapidly and this is directly proportional to the increasing number of mobile games in circulation. The growing market of the mobile game industry is not accompanied by the number of games that have educative content in them. The challenging, fun, and addictive nature of the game has a negative impact if no educational content is provided.
