Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the impact of gamification based on traditional games on the psychological well-being of children at the Special Child Development Institution (LPKA) in Bengkulu City. The study employed a pre-experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research subjects were children at LPKA Bengkulu, with a sample consisting of 30 juvenile inmates (Anbinpas).Data analysis was conducted using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and t-tests. The analysis results showed that the pretest and posttest data were normally distributed and had homogeneous variance, making them valid for comparison. The findings revealed that gamification based on traditional games had a significant effect on the psychological well-being of Anbinpas at LPKA Bengkulu. Based on statistical calculations, the tvalue obtained was -14.728, which was outside the acceptance region of H₀, namely -2.004 ≤ tvalue ≤ 2.004. Therefore, H₀ was rejected, and Hₐ was accepted, indicating that gamification based on traditional games significantly improved the psychological well-being of juvenile inmates at LPKA Bengkulu
