Dr. Ani Atanasova's article, published in the Knowledge International Journal, is titled "The Multiplayer Classroom: Is Multiplayer Mode Producing Better Results than Single Mode?" The research was conducted using Pixelhunters' Multiplayer Team Training Platform at St. St. Cyril and Methodius Primary School in Smolyan, Bulgaria. It focused on math and Bulgarian language for 4th and 6th graders. The study compared various gameplay modes, including single-player versus multiplayer, and analyzed the correlation between students' grades and game performance.

Special thanks go to everyone who supported this scientific research, particularly the school director, Rositsa Shehova, and the teachers Yuksela Brahimbasheva, Deniza Yordanova, Maria Gadzheva, Maya Sirakova, Sofka Nedkova, Radka Terziyska, and the Deputy Director, Siyka Vakeva. Most importantly, heartfelt thanks to all the students who participated.

This article is part of a broader body of research exploring the potential of game-based learning, especially among Generation Z in different grades and with varying academic performance. Additionally, significant data was analyzed from adult learners. Learning is often perceived as boring, but with the right ingredients—excellent teachers, storytelling, and games—it can become an exciting and highly effective experience.
