In Basic Education, sexuality is still seen as a difficulty for teaching. One strategy found to bring students to the topic in a playful way is the use of educational games. We aim to present a validated a complex educational game to approach this theme, through an exploratory qualitative work, anchored in development research according to Design Research guidelines. We use constructivism and competence building as guiding learning objectives. We analyzed the feedback discourse in the peer validation, which pointed out improvements already made to achieve the proposed learning objectives. The RPG is located in the second prototyping cycle with new specialists and target groups to finally make the file available, with possible publication by a university publisher.
