Therefore, learning media has been modified in its traditional form to be more interesting, not monotonous, and still get the knowledge in its entirety by bringing games to integrate with books or textbooks in each category. Which makes it a kind of learning tool which can simulate various events, both roles, and virtual events. It can be used as a therapeutic tool for various diseases as well. We, therefore have an idea to develop learning materials in the form of educational games Sickness Topia (The Development of Learning Games on Symptoms and Treatment of Diseases), which is a learning game that provides information about symptoms and methods of initial treatment of the disease, including the Common cold, Strep throat from a viral infection, Strep throat caused by a bacterial infection or Tonsillitis, Pneumonia, Allergic rhinitis, and general accidents that cause abrasions, bruises, scald burn and cut wound. It will develop the game as a blend of 2 and 3D learning games running on the Windows operating system to allow players to differentiate the Diseases from the chief complaint that occurs frequently in daily life. The results of quality analysis by game development experts are at a high level. The results of quality analysis by medical specialists were at the highest level. The results of the satisfaction analysis of the samples revealed that the satisfaction level was at a high level. And the comparison of the knowledge of the players before and after playing the game found that the learning effect after playing the game was significantly higher than before playing the game.
