This paper tries to contribute to a better understanding of the game-based learning principles included in Google Interland with aim to strengthen students with the necessary skills and knowledge about internet safety and digital citizenship. Also, an algorithmic analysis of Google Interland is presented inside the paper, which involves examining the underlying computational processes that drive the game’s mechanics, decision-making logic, and player interactions.
