About Microscopya

Microscopya is an adventure and puzzle game taking players on a journey through the inside of the cell, exploring its fantastical world and solving puzzles based on real molecular mechanisms. The game uses artistic imagery and educational puzzles to spark excitement about science while bringing awareness to careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

This is the very first game by Beata Science Art, and it is the result of a unique interdisciplinary collaboration between a molecular biologist and science artist, a conservationist and science communicator, a talented composer of the band Earthside, and Atelier Monarch Studios.

Special thanks to the American Association for the Advancement of Science and Lyda Hill Philanthropies for making this project possible as part of the IF/THEN Ambassadors Program, and the American Society for Cell Biology for additional funding.
