Background: Malnutrition, particularly stunting, remains a global health issue that impedes child development and affects overall human quality. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of "SPINERGY," an educational game-based health promotion media, in improving knowledge of stunting, balanced nutrition, and food selection skills among adolescents at SMPN 5 Batu.
