MoleculeGo play online

MoleculeGo is an augmented reality and location based gaming app that gamifies the process of learning about molecular biology. In this game, the player collects amino acids and DNA sequences, the molecular building blocks used to synthesize proteins. By capturing DNA segments, the player discovers further genes that encode for proteins. These genes provide the user with the necessary "recipe" to synthesize proteins in their own lab. Later, these proteins can be combined to construct even larger protein complexes. As the player progresses in the game, information will become available about each molecule's basic function and how its structure is associated with its molecular role. Players can visit schools, parks, hospitals, universities, etc. to collect and learn how these molecules are involved in disease, biomedical applications, research, and their function in the cell.
