PCR Quest – PCR Match Lab Game 1.7

Test your PCR knowledge with Thermo Fisher Scientific’s educational game – PCR Quest. Embark on a journey through various labs to combat challenging diseases through scientific problem-solving.

Players strategize by matching 3 or more viruses and bacteria to crush diseases. Enhance gameplay with lab supply boosters such as dry ice, petri dishes, and isolated DNA to tackle elusive bugs. As you conquer diseases, your score rises.

Matching Viruses and Bacteria:

• Creating a match of four same-colored viruses or bacteria in a row generates a special virus capable of clearing an entire row upon activation. Similarly, aligning four viruses vertically creates a unique vertical virus to eliminate an entire column.
• Matching 5 same-colored viruses triggers a powerful virus that wipes out surrounding viruses.

Chain Reactions:

• An “L” or “T” shaped pattern of matching viruses initiates chain reactions, indicated by a multicolored object. Swiping this object with adjacent viruses triggers a chain reaction.

Special Bacteria:

• Certain tiles called special bacteria defy gravity and cannot be manipulated. Examples include thermal blast, extraction, and cycler.

PCR Powers:

• Access PCR abilities from the control station at the bottom of the game screen.

DNA Strands:

• Encounter challenges where you must collect DNA strands that descend down the game board.

Lives:

• Play with a limited number of lives that can be replenished by earning coins throughout the game.

Coins:

• Earn coins by accomplishing lab objectives and engaging with PCR educational material integrated into the game.

Stars:

• Attain stars by maximizing your points at each lab you explore.

Exploring PCR and Molecular Biology:

• Learn about PCR techniques and molecular biology as you progress through the game. Uncover valuable resources and tips to enhance your PCR skills and knowledge. Enjoy the experience, make a positive impact, and share your achievements with peers. Embark on your PCR Quest journey today!
