Forget World of Warcraft… CellCraft: a Fantastic and Informational Cell Biology Flash Game

I was pleasantly surprised to discover a new flash game that was released today at Kongregate Games. CellCraft is a truly great flash game about building, controlling, and surviving as a human cell, viewed at the microscopic scale. I was even more surprised to find how accurate the game was, depicting organelles correctly and even conversion ratios of glucose to ATP. The game is a great primer for those who wish to learn some cell biology, or even for those of us who know plenty about the cell but want a refresher without cracking open a textbook.

Check out CellCraft at Kongregate and see for yourself!

Edit: Accurate… with the exception of human cells with chloroplasts. Maybe they’re looking to a future evolutionary step?

    Thanks for the positive review! :) Indeed, we did take a few liberties to try to cover more material. We make a reference to the cell being a “frankencell” when we add the chloroplasts – hopefully that’ll be clear to people who aren’t as familiar with the differences between plant and animal cells!
