“Game development” is an evolutionary part of children’s growth. This area provides the opportunity to develop new skills. Toys are the mental food of children. Therefore, given the importance of this field, "cognitive capital and game design" is being held up as a challenge.

The challenge is a startup event supported by cognitive sciences and technologies development headquarter with the approach of introducing and improving cognitive abilities. Of course, it is a challenge to consider issues related to the executive function of the brain and the attention of game makers to it. Therefore, “games” are an opportunity to flourish executive functions and turning them into cognitive skills. This is mainly due to the fact that game for children is indicative of language, and playing games is a type of dialogue. Meanwhile, selecting the game is an important challenge.
