I have been working for some years on an Educational Game Concept and my first demo of the games is now ready. The Demo does not include the Authoring Tools which are available to people that want to be Content Authors or Game Masters. I will make a demo of them later.
Your feedback is appreciated.

Interesting concept. I would say that the user interface needs a bit of work, pretty it up and make it more intuitive.
If you are planning aon using this in situations where the children will be supervised (perhaps by a teacher) then you are probably on the right track.
If you think kids are going to read through all of that documentation on their own then, and this is just an opinion, I think your wrong.
Is there any way you could make the instructions less wordy?
All in all a pretty good idea though.
I read an article one time that stated that children are more likely than adults to read documentation. But, as the author of that article pointed out, children are more likely to give up on a confusing or complex interface. There was more in that article but I gave up reading the article by that point.
Good point about the instructions. Actually,
Most of the games can be played without instructions. I’m just trying to cover my bases.
In addition, the game is not really a kid’s game unless the kid likes watching Jeopardy. I’m thinking of starting with college and then high school material. Probably will not get below middle school.
The link had two parts. The first was a demo of all the game types developed to date. The second was 1600 Rounds with different sort codes and keywords etc. to show where I’m going. The intent is to allow teachers to put together category specific “SETS” for students to play. The second link is what teachers would be looking at to select material.
And finally, this is just of first look at some material. I hope to interest people to become Authors and help develope and assemble content in return for royalties.

your concept is a good one, and the implementation seems to work well.
the key thing would be making it as simple, visually/audially interesting and easy as possible. selling products to educators (who may, but most likely do not, have computer knowledge) and children is tough if it isn’t appealling and easy. I would suggest actually working on the look and polish of the interface and website, over actual code work, if you plan to market this.
