Screen - Interface analysis

My app: a quiz aimed at UK youth (teenagers 16+) to determine which political party they side with and should be voting for. The app will provide a fun interactive format for teenagers to be educated on politics and in particular the parties, their basic values and policies.

I want the format of the app to be fun, a games based app but with an informative edge. Potentially with a dictionary type side to the app, where users can tap on a word and the definition is displayed, as political words can sometimes be confusing and extra effort to look up separately. If the meaning of the word is easy to find and explain the user will be more likely to become better informed.
