Code On

A pathogen is causing a pandemic! Scientists are mystified as to which gene is causing global fatalities, provoking you to start a quest to uncover the pathogenic gene sequence. The genetic processes of mutation and indels hinder your discovery progress. Utilise your intellect, together with the powers of base sequencing and CRISPR base editing technologies, to correctly reveal the pathogen gene sequence. Crack the pathogenic code to enable scientists to develop a vaccine to save humanity from an impending health crisis.

During each turn, players have to guess a hidden part of the pathogen genetic sequence. With every guess, the player is granted information about how accurate their guess was. Using deduction and reasoning skills, player record this information and use it to get closer to cracking the true genetic sequence!

Each turn, players can opt to use one of their wildcards, which can either help (Helper cards) them or hinder (Hinder cards) their opponents discovery progress. Play these cards wisely though, as you are only limited to a couple per game! A player wins when they crack the full hidden genetic sequence!

Can you crack the genetic code?
