science, education, gamification, game-based learning, LARP game, study module.

The use of games in the education process is, in our country, usually associated with ICT or digital tools. This paper attempts to clarify the concepts of gamification and game-based learning in connection with the informal, as well as the formal, education process, especially in cases of non-ICT or e-learning. The examples of implementation of gamification and game-based learning in Ostrava´s Science and Technology Center will be introduced. The examples will focus on use in science teaching, but the concept can be successfully used in any subject, and, using the interdisciplinary link, several courses can even be covered in one game.
