ADHDventure: English Hero Academy is an ADHD-friendly English learning game designed for young learners aged five to seven, a key stage for vocabulary development. The project addresses challenges such as difficulty maintaining attention, following instructions, reduced engagement during repetitive activities, and stress caused by timers, loud sounds, or negative “game over” feedback. The game offers a simple, interactive, and supportive learning environment that works offline on existing devices. Learners choose a hero, explore a forest map, listen to animal pronunciations, complete audio-based activities, receive immediate feedback, and take part in a final Hero Challenge. Their achievements and learning progress can also be viewed by parents and teachers through a learning report. ADHDventure aims to improve vocabulary, confidence, focus, and engagement while supporting inclusive learning and reducing paper use. Its commercialization potential includes a free basic game, paid learning packs, school licensing, and future multilingual versions. Overall, this innovation provides an accessible, engaging, and scalable approach to early English learning.
