    Peneleh Heritage Village is one of the historical tourism destinations in Surabaya with significant historical value. However, its level of recognition among children aged 9–12 years remains low due to the dominance of digital entertainment and the limited availability of interactive educational media. This study aims to design and develop an educational card game medium to introduce the heritage tourism of Peneleh Heritage Village in an engaging, educational, and age-appropriate manner. The study employed the Design Thinking method, consisting of five stages: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test stages. Data were collected through observation, interviews, literature review, questionnaires, and SWOT analysis. The developed product was a card game entitled Peneleh Quest, which consists of heritage card games, point tokens, a game guidebook, packaging, and supporting promotional media. The product feasibility was evaluated through expert validation involving a material expert and a media expert, followed by user testing with 10 children aged 9–12 years as the target users. The validation results showed that the subject matter expert awarded a feasibility score of 94.8%, indicating that the product was feasible with minor revisions, while the final media expert validation achieved a score of 96.6%, indicating that the product was highly feasible without further revisions after improvements to both the content and visual aspects. The results of user testing showed that Peneleh Quest was easy to play, visually appealing, capable of encouraging interaction among players, and effective in helping children understand information about the heritage sites of Peneleh Heritage Village through an enjoyable learning experience. Therefore, the developed card game is considered suitable as an educational medium for introducing heritage tourism to children aged 9–12 years. The novelty of this study is in the development of a local heritage-themed card game that integrates quiz, memory matching, action card, and point collection mechanics into a single educational game specifically designed to suit the cognitive characteristics of children aged 9–12 years.
