The game “JC Snakes and Ladders” was developed to improve mathematical ability. It was pilot tested among freshmen college students of Romblon State University Cajidiocan Campus. This paper presents the evaluation results of the developed game in terms of motivation such as attention, relevance and reliability; user experience such as satisfaction, immersion, challenge, social interaction and fun; and knowledge. Results showed that JC Snakes and Ladders is perceived to be effective in raising students’ motivation, experience, and knowledge. Utilization of the intervention is recommended.
