In this paper, we investigate the impact of flow (operationalized as heightened challenge and skill), engagement, and immersion on learning in game-based learning environments. The data was gathered through a survey from players (N 1⁄4 173) of two learning games (Quantum Spectre: N 1⁄4 134 and Spumone: N 1⁄4 40). The results show that engagement in the game has a clear positive effect on learni...
