The relevance of Batik for the new generation faces challenges due to the perception that tends to be static and bound to the past. This research addresses this challenge by conducting a transmedia adaptation of a futuristic Batik design concept, "Tumpal Futura", which is realized into an interactive educational game using the Scratch platform. Through the ADDIE framework and thematic analysis from in-depth interviews with nine experts, this research found that the fusion of cultural heritage with avant-garde aesthetics creates a powerful paradox and is effective in attracting young audiences. It was identified that the main challenge in the adaptation process was not visual replication, but rather the conceptual translation of the motif's philosophy into game mechanics. Furthermore, this study affirms that the success of a digital pedagogy tool lies not in its interactivity alone, but in its ability to provide a rich narrative context. This research successfully presents a model of a complete creative process for revitalizing cultural heritage through transmedia storytelling.
