Abstract
An educational game is a recreational activity designed to teach people, typically children, about a certain subject or help them learn a skill as they play. These games are usually successful in engagement, but sometimes fail in triggering learning. This paper shows the results obtained when evaluating MITO, an educational game to teach Spanish orthography. This experiment let us find the main deficiencies of MITO and opens a new line of work that tries to fix them
