Personally, I think it's a brilliant idea. It makes use of the tendencies most of us have to begin with.
Also why limit it to just math? It can also be used for English, Social Studies, History, etc. Remember Carmen Sandiego? You learned a lot playing that game even though on the side you were gathering clues to finding the crooks. The propaganda is the learning experience gained.
