The interest of Vocational High School students in learning theoretical material that is not from their field of expertise is very low. This is partly because students consider the material not directly related to the skills needed in their vocational fields. contextual material that seems absurd, because it is sometimes taught without the help of adequate media and practical activities, is another reason for the lack of student interest in this material. This research aims to build an educational game that can be used as a learning aid, especially in the material of logic and computer algorithms; and measuring the effectiveness of the use of educational games on increasing student understanding. This research is development research, in which media prototype design is tested several times to different subjects to get a media design that suits your needs. in relation to understanding, the media was tested on 103 students in one of the non-IT Vocational High Schools in the Bandung City area. From the results of this study note that in general, students gave very good responses regarding this educational game. The majority of students think that this game is interesting, and can help provide understanding and increase student motivation. however, this educational game is only able to help students understand at the low order level of thinking. for more complex problem-solving cases, other media assistance is needed in constructing student understanding to a higher level.
