This work provides information about a free-of-charge, trilingual (Portuguese, Spanish, and English), game-based application. The game allows high-school and undergraduate students to review chemical nomenclature in an engaging and fun way on their own by answering random questions from a database with over 700 questions. Student testing revealed that the game design, content, playability, and usefulness was helpful as a complementary didactic tool to aid in traditional study. Assessment of student knowledge gains was performed. The results revealed that students who used the game as a complementary tool had higher performance in tests compared with students who studied nomenclature by only conventional learning methods.
