Background: Stunting is a global nutritional issue, particularly prevalent in developing countries like Indonesia, resulting from long-term dietary deficiencies, as well as social and economic factors. The knowledge of pregnant women during the First 1000 Days of Life (Hari Pertama Kehidupan/HPK) plays a crucial role in preventing stunting. Interactive education, such as the snakes and ladders game, has the potential to enhance engagement and knowledge retention. However, its implementation is still limited due to constraints in human resources.
