NanoMission• NanoMission is a serious game
series made by PlayGen for
Wellcome Trust and FEI to teach
the player about the world of
nanomedicine. There are four
downloadable modules available,
each teaching different concepts
related to nanotechnology.
NanoMission• The gameplay varies greatly
between the different modules
in the series offering a wide
variety of gameplay. Play of
this game requires both a free
account and download of the
free software.

NanoMission• In NanoMedicine V1, the player
helps the laboratory aide guide
the nanorobot to destroy the
cancer in the patient. In Nano
Medicine V2, the player takes on
the role of a scientist attempting
to create better nanomedicine
and nanomachines.
NanoMission• In NanoImaging module, a
mad scientist has created

fast-blooming Red Algae that
is threatening to wipe out all
life in freshwater lakes and
streams worldwide.
NanoMission• The player takes the role of a
scientist attempting to find and

then create a countermeasure
using nanotechnology to destroy
the invading algae and save the
world's lakes and streams.
NanoMission• NanoScaling module
teaches the players the
differences in the size of
items from a microscopic
atom of hydrogen (pico
meters) to the sun
(gigameters).
NanoMission• Players can scroll
between the items, or they can have their character shrink or grow to the size of the item pictured to be able to see the items' sizes in perspective.
