Computer games were reported to increase learner motivation, learner engagement and performance. However, literatures highlighted that designing and developing an effective computer games is very challenging. This paper attempts to provide a guideline for designing an effective serious game by using cultural-based game design model called GADEM. Eleven explicit serious game elements were extracted and described in the guideline. This guideline was presented according to cultural dimensions as described in Value Survey Module, as well as cultural markers and typography. The guideline could be used by both game developers and game designers. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. publisher: Springer Verlag date: 2015 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Ariffin, M.M. and Ahmad, W.F.W. and Sulaiman, S.
