The emphasis is on using a gaming approach in education to increase motivation and effectiveness in mastering mathematical concepts. As a result, an interactive game with a nonlinear plot and various gaming mechanics was created, and pilot testing was conducted with the target audience. The work represents a significant contribution to the field of educational game development and advanced mathematics education.
