Edutainment games in video game history
Edutainment blends education and entertainment: learning while playing, from math to geography to reading. Popularized on PC by classics like The Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego, the genre exploded on consoles with the 'brain training' phenomenon on the Nintendo DS, before opening up to learning to code.
Its representatives are varied: Game Builder Garage teaches game creation, Big Brain Academy and My Word Coach train the mind, and Sesame Street Counting Cafe speaks to the youngest players. Brain Age, Carmen Sandiego and Reader Rabbit complete an educational family.
For collectors, edutainment stays very affordable, as most titles were mass-produced. A few older or Japanese editions do stand out, though. On RomWize, every educational game is retested and re-rated for 2026, with its rarity index and collector value (loose, complete and new) by region; the 'by console' section above helps you explore the best, machine by machine.
