Abstract: Abstract The role of entrepreneurship in moving forward economic sustainability, boosting national and international markets by improving employability is undeniable. Although personal characteristics play an important role in the success of entrepreneurs, several studies have shown that entrepreneurship can be learned and trained. This makes the entrepreneurship education all the more important and worth unravelling. There is a correlation between entrepreneurship education and success of the entrepreneurs, and different pedagogical approaches are often introduced into teaching making entrepreneurship a worthwhile discipline in higher education. In this chapter we re-asses entrepreneurship education by concentrating on gamification method through the exploration of current studies on game-based learning. The findings from the literature suggest different views on entrepreneurship education and its importance. However, they help in the development of a road map to educate entrepreneurs and stimulate them to become more successful via creating an entrepreneurship culture. Different pedagogical approaches are noted, and these upsurge the value of entrepreneurship education, by increasing students’ motivation, attitude, and engagement. Much attention is drawn to gamification as a learning process, and the analysis of different viewpoints has provided a deeper understanding, strong platform, and appreciation of game-based learning approaches in higher education.
