A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

LigandQuest is a physics-based educational experience 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 inbuilt levels that cover important pharmacological ideas.  However, the main focus of the game is an incredibly powerful level editor, which allows players to make and share levels to teach other users or demonstrate their 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.
