WIP: LLM Odyssey: A Game-Based Platform for Teaching LLM Engineering Concepts

WIP: LLM Odyssey is an open‑source, browser‑based serious gaming platform that offers 13 interactive games to teach Large Language Model engineering concepts such as tokenization, transformer architecture, prompt engineering, RAG, and production deployment. The platform is organized into three learning tiers—Cognitive Core, Systems Forge, and Foundry Arena—aligned with Bloom’s revised taxonomy, and each game employs five pedagogical strategies including immediate feedback, scaffolded hints, progressive difficulty, worked examples, and authentic production scenarios. An initial deployment at a Canadian college in Winter 2026 confirmed functional requirements, highlighted the need for adaptive difficulty, and led to the design of a formal mixed‑methods evaluation protocol for future studies.
