Game-based technologies and mobile learning aids open up many opportunitiesfor learners; however, evidence-based decisions on their appropriate use arenecessary. This explorative study (N = 100) examines the role of game elementsin university education using a game-based learning app for mobile devices. Theeducational goal of the app is to support students in the field of engineeringto memorize factual knowledge. The study investigates how the game-based appaffects learners' motivation. It analyses the perceived impact and appeal aswell as the game elements as an incentive in learners' perception. To realizethis aim, the study combines structured methods like questionnaires withsemi-structured methods like thinking aloud, game diaries, and interviews. Theresults indicate that flexible tem-poral and spatial use of the app was animportant factor of learners' motivation. The app allowed more spontaneousinvolvement with the subject matter and the learners took advantage of animproved attitude toward the subject matter. However, only a low impact onintrinsic motivation could be observed. We discuss reasons and presentpractical implications.
