Biology : Mission : Protein
We need you to cure a patient who has a genetic disease. Your intracellular mission is to synthesize a protein, which will let you put your knowledge into practice to prepare for your exam!
Chemistry – Mission : Molecule
You are invited to board a time/space/digital teleportation machine to solve puzzles about the structure of the molecules involved in three ecological disasters. This trip will give you the chance to review concepts related to molecular geometry, types of hybridization and chemical bonds.
Physics – Mission : Dark matter
You have to send your pilot to the space station to get information about several stars. In exchange, NASA will give you information on five stars from the galaxy UGC 11748, a galaxy we have strong reason to believe contains dark matter. To succeed, you will have to combine your knowledge of the conservation of energy and the dynamics of circular motion.

I would like to point out that the games were designed for post-secondary science courses and can be played in French and English using the documents available on the site whose address is in the description. All movement in the games is done by teleportation. To teleport, you must point to the place where you want to teleport, when this area turns blue, press the trigger under the index finger and by releasing, you will teleport to the desired location (including, for example, the teleportation machine). First, you need to look around. Near the door, there is a terminal for swiping the magnetic card. Once the card is swiped, a large red button will appear.
I want to love this game. I have two enthusiastic kids, one of whom is fluent in French, and we can’t figure out how to get into the teleporter after opening the first door. There is nothing in the instructions. It just says move to the button by the door. What button?
This game genuinely incentivizes you to learn and helps communication skills as well! If you don't believe me, try it out!
