Currently, there is a concern about the teaching-learning process of some scientific concepts, such as the initial concepts of Organic Chemistry, seen in the third year of high school. One of the alternatives to solve this problem has been to build and to point teaching materials to increase the methodology of the classes. Some of these materials, which can contribute to the success of the teaching-learning process, are educational software. In this work, an educational app for mobile devices was developed, named Molecular Quiz, and it addressed the content of organic functions.  It is also reported its application and validation with high school and graduation students. For theses analysis, it was used questionnaires with objective and discursive questions. It was noted that the proposed game pleased students and future teachers, demonstrating that it can be a good alternative to dynamize Organic Chemistry classes. In addition, the app has been validated as an educational game.
