This virus spread quickly and has spread to almost all countries, including Indonesia, in just a few months. Indonesia is a country that has a very high transmission of Covid-19 with a total of 4,227,038 positive confirmed victims in October 2021. Based on the Head of the Data and Information Technology Division of the Covid-19 Handling Task Force by Dewi Nur Aisyah, data on school children aged 7 up to 12 years had the most cases, namely 101,049 cases. A video Game is a competition between players who interact with each other by using certain rules to achieve certain goals as well. Online learning is considered to be the only medium for conveying material between teachers and students, during a pandemic emergency. In an effort to help suppress the spread of the Covid-19 virus, which has appeared in several new variants in the last time, various alternatives and new innovations are needed that can be applied as a medium of delivery and education.
