Nowaday, there is a great concern about the teaching and learning process of scientific concepts in the field of Natural Sciences, and especially in Chemistry classes. For education researchers, a solution to solve this problem is to develop and point out materials that use new technologies to increase the methodology of the classes. Some of these materials, which can contribute to the success in the teaching-learning process, are playful educational softwares. In this sense, it was developed a mobile device application, named Quimi Crush, to assist in mediating the content of Organic Functions in high school classes. The playful game was developed, tested and applied with High School and ungergraduate students. This game was well rated by both groups. In addition, Quimi Crush has been validated as an educational game and can be a tool to help in chemistry classes, making them more dynamic and interesting.
