Abstract:	This study attempts at assessing the usability of an implementation of the Role-playing Game RPG-based Learning Framework (RPG LF)-the CISCO Aspire Simulation Game. This paper reports the result analysis for the post-task test using the Single-Ease Question (SEQ). The test was divided into two focuses–one on the game usability and the other on the framework usability of the game as an instance of the sample implementation of the RPG LF. Reliability test was run to check the reliability of the questionnaires. Several one-sample t-tests were run to compare the means. After that, gender-based comparison was done using independent sample t-test followed by academic age group comparison using the one-way ANOVA. The study concluded that the game design for CISCO Aspire was good and usability of framework with the game as the implementation of the RPG LF was good too. The study also found out that there were no significant difference of the usability perception of the game and the usability of the framework with the game as the implementation of the RPG LF between the genders and among the academic age groups.
