Indonesia has a big number of national heroes compared to other countries in the world. In 9 November 2017, the president of Indonesia, Joko Widodo bestowed the title of National Hero on four citizens through Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia number 115/TK/2017. So far, Indonesia has 173 national heroes. However, children in Indonesia have a very limited knowledge of those heroes. This is caused by the low reading interest among the children. The National Library of Indonesia recorded that there are 90% of Indonesian citizens above 10 years old who like to watch television but do not like to read books. The low level of reading interest in children causes them to possess limited amount of knowledge. For now, the education about national heroes in elementary schools only uses monotonous printed media so that it does not enhance children’s interest about the heroes. Hence, a new historical learning media is needed as a solution to the problem. HiFi is a combination of introductions about national heroes of Indonesia in historical learning as an educative learning media based on construct application for elementary school students. HiFi is applied in a form of educative game with four main menu which are play, help, about, and exit. This media contains questions in the game which will be solved easily and amusingly in accordance with competency standards of the History subject in elementary schools in Yogyakarta. The forms of the game which will be showed are guessing pictures, videos, map of regions, and puzzle. Thus, the historical learning in introducing national heroes will be easy and effective.
