Abstract
Based on the latest result in 2011 of the Programme for International Students Assesment (PISA} and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS}, the Malaysian students' academic performance had dropped below the international average for the Science and Mathematics subjects. Hence, the blueprint of the Malaysia Education Development 2013-2025 was made. In this education shift, Malaysia decide to remodel the examination as well as the assessment of the country by adding the questions that involved the use of the higher order thinking skills. Besides that, many students think that Science stream class is difficult and decide to not enroll in it Curiosity is an attitude that makes students to naturally like to learn Science for not only the sake of examination. Teachers need to ''inject" something that will stimulate curiosity of the students. Based on the literature review, game-based learning able to give effect to the students' higher order thinking skills and the curiosity of students towards Science. The methodology that used in this study is the quasiexperimental The research findings shown that the game-based learning bring no effect to the students' higher order thinking skills as well as the curiosity of the students towards Science subject. The experience that provided by the game that was used was not enough to make the students to construct their own understanding of the topic that· been taught. As a conclution, game-based learning cannot be applied to the Form 2 students in Kudat as a learning tool to echange the higher order thinking skills and curiosity of the students towards science subject
