Abstract	Previous research has highlighted the potential benefits of mobile devices and digital games for educational purposes. However, few studies have evaluated the use of mobile games in class, especially regarding science education in the Hong Kong context. This paper presents some details of a preliminary implementation of learning activities employing a popular Mobile Virtual Environment Game, Minecraft, in a Hong Kong international secondary school Integrated Science class. Indications are that the introduction of the mobile virtual environment game may indeed contribute to learning improvements and some other enhanced 'soft' outcomes. Possible implications of the findings and future research are considered. © 2013 IEEE.
