Single-player simulation adventure Mission Biotech puts players on a virtual team racing to halt dangerous pathogen outbreaks. Middle school students and older operate high-tech laboratory equipment to complete urgent tasks. A hint system, Lab Director, and team members provide guidance along the way.
Players collect badges and clues while tackling mini-games that build key biotech skills. Randomized virus data fuels hours of replayable missions. This PC game, backed by the National Science Foundation and University of Florida, draws students into real lab procedures and tools.
