It is always a challenge for researchers and designers in the relevant discipline to design a more effective educational game. The growth of educational games is significant especially in academic research domain, however to design an educational game with a special purpose in mind is even more challenging. In this paper, we present a prototype educational game for teaching sign language. This prototype educational game allows the player to learn and practice the Australian Sign Language (Auslan) in an enjoyable way.
