Malaysia is prosperous with folktale, which is traditionally diffused verbally from generation to generation. Inopportunely, this heritage is slowly being forgotten by the younger generations especially by teenagers. The study aims to safeguard local folktale through an adventure game made for teenagers. In the context of the study, Bawang Putih Bawang Merah was selected. The study seeks to discover the adventure game’s elements from the game guideline and from the user (teenagers). Once found, it is a question of how both the elements can be employed to design and develop the folktale adventure game branded as Orkid Emas in the study. Based on the definitive version of the game, it is a question of obtaining the teenagers’ feedback about the game’s design and development and safeguarding aspects.
