Anaemia affects a large number of teenage females. A lack of knowledge about anaemia, unfavourable attitudes toward iron-rich meals, and irregular consumption of these foods all contribute to anaemia risk. To enhance the understanding, disposition, and commitment of teenage females toward health education, the game of Snakes and Ladders might be used. This study aims to investigate whether the game Snakes and Ladders at SMKN 2 Pekanbaru can enhance the iron supplement consumption knowledge, attitudes, and adherence among teenage girls. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used in this study's pre-experimental design. May 2026 was the study's administration month at SMKN 2 Pekanbaru. Using a proportionate random selection method, 65 teenage females were chosen to participate in the research. The study's tools were questionnaires that assessed participants' level of understanding, attitudes, and compliance with taking iron-fortified pills as prescribed. Univariate and bivariate approaches were used to analyse the data. The K-S test was used to check for normality, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was used for bivariate analysis. After the "Snakes and Ladders" game-based media intervention, the average scores for knowledge, attitude, and adherence to taking iron supplement pills went up from 6.38 to 9.83, 4.92 to 13.00, and 1.72 to 6.05, respectively. The knowledge, attitude, and adherence to taking Iron-Fortified Tablets were all significantly affected by the Snakes and Ladders game, according to the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test (Z = -6.819; p < 0.001), with Z = -7.035 and p < 0.001 respectively. Adolescent females at SMKN 2 Pekanbaru improved their attitudes, knowledge, and adherence to consuming Iron-Folic Acid Tablets (IFATs) by the use of the "Snakes and Ladders" game. In the fight against teenage girls' anaemia, this media may be used as an alternative to traditional school-based health teaching programs.
