What is it about?
Theoretical concepts are essential to teaching in different areas. However, approaching them during classes can be a challenge so as not to bore students. Educational games can make teaching more dynamic and motivate students to learn. In this scenario, this paper establishes guidelines that contemplate the desired requirements for the educational game's development with motivational quality.

Why is it important?
The definition of guidelines helps the obtaining of solutions, regardless of the topics and areas covered, which effectively contemplate the motivational quality desired for educational games. Besides, the simultaneous application of the guidelines in the development of a prototype, in addition to attesting its applicability, provides concrete support on which mechanisms can be implemented in games to meet the established guidelines, unlike research that only lists some guidelines without showing their applicability.
Perspectives
This paper addresses issues that have always been challenging for education: keeping students motivated. Therefore, it was a great pleasure for me to present a viable solution capable of contributing to new games' development with motivational quality.
