TOP 100 EDUCATIONAL GAMES

Ah, the educational game genre. Who doesn't love learning while they play? And by "love," I mean "have a begrudging tolerance for." But seriously, educational games can actually be kinda fun. For those who don't mind their entertainment being a bit on the smarter side, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of finally getting that math problem right or learning some obscure factoid that you can then impress your friends with (or, more likely, forget five minutes later). And if you're looking for the best of the best in the educational game world, you've come to the right place. This site has curated a list of the top games in the genre, so you don't have to wade through the dreck to find the gems. From language learning to science experiments, these games will make you forget that you're actually learning something. Or, at the very least, they'll distract you from the fact that you're not playing the latest shooter or RPG. So come on, give your brain a workout and check out these educational games. Your inner teacher's pet will thank you.
