One of the most important problems brought about by globalization in recent years is the loss
of importance of locality and cultural values and the destruction of cultural heritage data
with the destructions caused by natural disasters. Realizing this, societies develop various
solutions to protect their cultural data. With the development of technology and the spread of
digitalization, tangible cultural heritage data has been digitized and transferred to a digital
archive. Intangible cultural heritage data are also stored in digital media as literary. In order
to ensure the sustainability of cultural heritage values in memory, tangible and intangible
data should be presented as a whole. The transfer of cultural heritage to future generations
should be done not as a pile of knowledge, but as a fun and exciting form of learning. This
study includes a methodological approach to the design of digital games, which have become
popular especially among young people in recent years, with cultural heritage data. With this
methodological approach, it is aimed to provide informal learning by increasing the curiosity
and awareness of young people playing games designed with different cultural heritage
values and players from all age groups. With this methodological approach developed,
exemplary studies were carried out on cultural heritage areas with the students of Eskişehir
Osmangazi University Department of Architecture, Architectural Project Studio. In the
project studio, the students first identified the tangible and intangible data of cultural heritage
areas, and then created digital game setups with these data.
