Explore living systems through play. This collection of free biology games turns real concepts into mechanics: command immune cells against pathogen waves in Immune Rush, sort dividing cells through their checkpoints in Mitosis Manager and match drugs to diseases in Pharma-Fix.
You can edit DNA in CRISPR Snipe, defend your gut microbiome in Microbe Midway, watch allele frequencies drift in Drift King or roll into a cryptobiotic tun in Tardigrade Tun. Every game runs instantly in the browser with no download or sign-up, ready for classrooms, homework and curious minds.
Master the 24-hour molecular clockwork cycle by translating PER and TIM proteins, shuttling dimers into the nucleus to repress transcription and triggering the Cryptochrome dawn flush.
Guide foraging ant swarms using chemical recruitment trails and alarm repellents to solve emergent shortest paths through stigmergy.
Shift between active swimming and cryptobiotic tun state to withstand lethal solar UV flares, flash freezes, boiling acid and cosmic vacuum.
Guide mycorrhizal fungal threads through subterranean soil, barter nutrients for glucose with trees and dispatch pest warning signals.
Control Argonaute complexes to regulate mRNA translation. Balance cellular homeostasis through exact catalytic cleavage and partial seed dimmer braking.
Snap secondary backbone motifs, trigger hydrophobic core collapse and sculpt catalytic active site pockets.
A fast-paced arcade game about the immune system.
A frantic shooter about defending your gut microbiome.
A tower-defense style game about immune tolerance.
A typing game where you transcribe DNA to RNA, one base at a time.
A memory-matching game about how sleep consolidates memories.
A fast-paced sorting game about the cell cycle and cancer prevention.
A puzzle game about differentiating stem cells by matching signal pathways.
A fast-paced resource management game about creating blood cells.
A fast-paced puzzle game about discovering gene sequences.
A drag-and-drop game about drug effects and side effects.
A fast-paced reaction game about applying public health interventions to stop outbreaks.
A fast-paced shooter about chemotherapy. Target cancer cells and spare healthy cells.
A fast-paced game about biomagnification. Catch fish but avoid the concentrated toxins!
A physics-based slingshot game about CRISPR gene editing and chromatin navigation.
A fast-paced chromatin remodeling game. Stamp methyl tags to silence transposons and brush acetyl marks to express genes.
A fast-paced physics and docking game about bacteriophages and antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
A valve balancing reflex game. Pump potassium ions to swell guard cells open for carbon dioxide intake and clamp shut against dry heat waves.
A fast-paced deep-sea marine ecology arcade game. Manage a hydrothermal vent ecosystem, channel sulfide plumes and shield tubeworms from volcanic eruptions.
Master human donor dissection techniques, swap surgical tools to expose thoracic organs and identify vital landmarks without cutting delicate nerves.
A fast-paced clinical diagnosis game where you triage acute symptoms, stabilize fluctuating vitals and deliver targeted treatments before patients crash.
Investigate patient blood smears and tissue biopsies, adjust optical focus depth, swipe differential stains and tally cell ratios against time.
Nurture Pichia yeast, Spirulina algae and Streptomyces fermenters, harvest insulin and phycocyanin tokens and defend bioreactors against lytic podoviruses in this microbial arcade game.
Guide microscopic swimmers through pelagic freshwater food webs, graze cyanobacteria as a ciliate, swallow ciliates as a rotifer and evade hydras as daphnia in this science arcade game.
Type peptide epitope sequences to synthesize monoclonal antibodies and neutralize invading pathogens before they breach the endothelial barrier.
Defend leaf veins against invading aphids, spider mites and caterpillars using thylakoid photon harvesters, guard cell turrets and ABA emergency abscission valves in this botany strategy game.
Dash across the wet lab bench, manage experiment orders, pipette reagents, spin centrifuges and deliver certified test results before researcher patience expires in this laboratory time management game.
Steward an island herd of Driftites through pure genetic drift: feed carrying capacity, weather bottleneck storms, seed founder colonies and ride runaway mate fads while allele frequencies lurch by luck alone.
Run a real MRI pulse sequence: fire 90 and 180 degree RF pulses, refocus dephasing proton spins into an echo and encode k-space with gradient coils to diagnose tumor, fat, fluid and edema from their T1 and T2 signatures.
Hunt peppered moths as a hungry flycatcher across generations: soot darkens the forest, lichen restores it and every catch steers the allele frequency bar in this Kettlewell natural selection arcade game.
Run a breeding farm under contract: pick parents with hidden genotypes, watch real Punnett squares fill at Mendelian ratios and prove carriers with test crosses before the season drains.
Sprint a glucose molecule through glycolysis, lap the Krebs cycle wheel and ride the electron transport chain to the ATP synthase jackpot in this cellular respiration platformer.
Pilot a fiber-optic implant inside a living brain: fire blue light to excite relay neurons and yellow light to silence seizures on millisecond timing.
Rebuild a rundown reserve: fence habitat-matched enclosures, pair founders by genetic distance, dodge poachers and rewild endangered species.
Grow crops by balancing N-P-K, soil pH and organic matter while keeping fertilizer runoff out of the creek.
