LigandQuest
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
LigandQuest is a physics-based educational game designed to teach core pharmacology concepts to anyone. Fling chemical messengers around with the mouse and cause changes in the patient's body. The game has 11 prebuilt levels that cover basic pharmacological concepts as well as an incredibly powerful level editor, which allows players to create levels and demonstrate knowledge. Levels are saved as files that are easily shareable.
This game was developed by Ryan O'Hara and Andy Mechalakos and funded via the QUIP-RS grant program at Quinnipiac University.
