The periodic table allows to easily understand the chemical elements and predict the behavior of theoretical yet undiscovered new elements. Many memorization techniques have been used for learning the periodic table, yet serious games (i.e. designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment) have been underexplored to complement or even replace such memorization techniques. Since ChemMend, an existing physical card-game, was found to assist learning the periodic table, we explore the potential of e-ChemMend, a digital version of the game as an aid to memorize the group and period numbers of the elements. e-ChemMend is a single-player serious game to explore the e ect of four di erent game conditions involving two experimental factors
