Looking for a new STEM game? Check out our latest Short Game release, The DNA Hypothesis by Chad Curtis with Jules Perna! From the game description:

The DNA Hypothesis opens at a 1944 scientific conference at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York where eminent biochemists and geneticists are to share the latest developments in the nascent field of molecular biology. Of critical interest are the claims of Oswald Avery who claims to have identified the active component of the "transforming principle," as DNA the genetic material that can change one strain of bacteria into another. But not all are in agreement; protein is the much likelier candidate as it has a complex structure that give it the required specificity. Students will try to answer the questions, What is the genetic carrier of information? What evidence is there for or against the proposed hypotheses of the molecular basis of heredity? And what criteria could be used to establish a candidate molecule as the carrier of genetic information?

Recommended for classes of 8-32 students, this game is notable for having each student write and argue from a unique source. With a low amount of reading up front and low chaos/demand on the instructor, this game is a perfect first reacting game for both newbie and experienced STEM reactors to use in class. Check it out before heading to GDC this week!
