Abstract: Game Based Learning is a method that promises long-term results and opens new possibilities in e-learning approaches. The current technology offers a solid base for most programmers and educators to develop in this direction. Digital Game Based Learning becomes a challenge opposed to board, card or class games. The aim of this presentation is tointroduce a model of an adaptivemulti-agentsystem integrated into a game based e-learning system. The game environment is used to realize a dynamic allocation of educational puzzles. The game in which the multi agent system is integrated is an educational FPS where you progress by properly resolving informatics problems inserted into the game flow. The aim is to design an autonomous system which realizes dynamic puzzle and quests allocation, choosing the progress of the game based only on the player’s choices. The proposed system is based on the adaptive wasp colonies behaviour.The adaptive behavior of such a system is necessary in order to create a unique multiplayer mode where the game designers no longer need to worry for the educational content, they will only create the triggers in the world and the wasp agents will take care of the rest. Thedominance hierarchy in the wasp model ensures a balanced gameplay and learning.
