    About us

    Being avid gamers  we at Fundamental Studios have noticed a trend that there are few if any educational games that become mainstream.  Video games provide a unique opportunity to educate.  While most games are great at teaching problem solving, few have tried to teach real world concepts. Maybe one day instead of doing homework children will get to learn through their favorite game. Our goal is to introduce players to concepts using fun and engaging gameplay.
