Designed by researchers at Rice University, " MedMyst" is an online game that offers you three mysteries to solve about contagious diseases.
As a scientist, historian or detective, you learn how pathogens spread. As a member of an elite medical corps, you have to find the causes of the epidemic that has killed millions and even threatens civilization... you can even put yourself in the shoes of a microbe.
For teachers, the site offers worksheets and links to set up lesson plans or classroom activities around health and contagious diseases.
