Abstract: Muzium Negara provides an overview of the cultural and historical heritage of Malaysia. It houses four exhibition galleries that present rich information for the visitors, especially for the students to learn about Malaysia’s history. However, classroom-based learning for teaching history is abstract and less interactive, influencing students’ interest and motivation to learn history. Hence, this project is motivated to develop an interactive game of Muzium Negara to enhance the students’ interest, motivation, and knowledge about Malaysia’s history. This project adopted the agile methodology to facilitate the planning, development, and testing of the game. An evaluation has been carried out to evaluate the level of enjoyment provided by the game. The evaluation result shows that the participants had experienced 84.8% enjoyment in this game. For future work, the project will include the multi-player functionality to add more interactivity to the game.
