This makes me remember a game I played when I was a little girl. It was 
called "Le Labyrinthe D'Orthophus" in French.
I think that would be "The Maze of Orthophus" in English, but it was a 
French game, so you probably never heard about that game.

So in this game you are a young boy ( or knight ), and you are in a 
dungeon. You walk around, opening doors. In each room (and sometimes in 
hallways) you meet some creatures (monsters, animals, people..) and you 
have to answer correctly their questions to go on your adventures.
The questions are about maths or "French": grammar & orthography  
(orthography => orthophus).
Each good answer rewards you a "letter". At the end of the game, you 
meet the dungeon master and this time the answer of the question had to 
be formed with the letters you collected before.

You can find more information and download the game here :

It's in French, sorry :) But I would be happy to translate something if 
you ask.
If you want to play, I don't know if it's possible with Linux, I never 
tried. I don't know much about DOS emulation.

I think it's a good game, I spent many hours playing and learning with 
it, could be a  great source of  ideas.

By the way, I'm a French girl, Fedora user, XO owner, and a 
Fedora/Sugar/Free Software contributor "wanna-be".
I'm a game developer, I work for Wizarbox, a little game development 
studio in Paris and I always wanted to develop games for linux or for 
the XO's on my spare time, so I would be happy to help you all with 
Mongo or other stuff. :)
