The Art of the Prompt 🎨

We built Argraide to be magic. You type a few words, and a fully interactive, graded game appears. But like any magic, the spell matters.

While typing "Fractions" will get you a decent activity, typing "You are a pizza shop owner who needs to slice pizzas for customers using fractions" gets you an unforgettable experience.

Here is the secret to writing prompts that turn a standard lesson into a core memory for your students.

1. Give the AI a "Role" (The Scenario)

Don't just ask for a subject; ask for a situation. Students learn best when they have a job to do.

• Good: "Create a game about ancient Egypt."
• Great: "You are the Royal Architect for the Pharaoh. You must manage resources (stone, food, labor) to build the Great Pyramid before the Nile floods."

2. Define the "Win Condition"

Help the AI understand what success looks like. This ensures the game has a clear goal.

• Good: "Practice French vocabulary for food."
• Great: "The player is a waiter in a Parisian café. They must correctly serve orders to customers by matching the French word to the correct food item before the customers get angry."

3. Specify the Grade & Tone

Argraide can adjust the difficulty instantly. Be specific so the language matches your students.

• Good: "Science quiz about ecosystems."
• Great: "A 5th-grade level exploration of a forest ecosystem. Use simple language and focus on the relationship between predators and prey. Make the tone fun and adventurous."

4. The "Remix" Power

The best part? You don't have to get it right the first time. If the game is too hard, just click Remix and type: "Make it easier for Grade 3" or "Add more time to the timer."

The "Golden Prompt" Formula:

[Role/Scenario] + [Learning Objective] + [Target Audience]
