Science Games

7 mini-games in BenchGuide. Speed runs, memory, a scrolling DNA challenge, and quizzes. All built from the science already in the app.

Why Games

BenchCalc already has sections for learning and looking up information. Games are a way to gameify that learning, providing a fun way to pick up new things or test what you already know. Some of the games are directly educational, others are just there for a moment of enjoyment in between all the work.

Speed Runs

20 rounds. Four options. Pick the right answer as fast as you can. Wrong answers cost you time. Best times saved to the leaderboard.

Nucleotide Memory

Simon Says with A, T, G, C. The app plays a sequence, you repeat it back. Each round adds one more. Four difficulty modes from easy to ramp. When the game ends you can see your full sequence and jump straight to the Sequence Translator or MW Calculator with it.

Restriction Site Snap

A DNA sequence scrolls across the screen. You are given a target restriction enzyme. Tap when you spot the recognition site.

Quick Play has three difficulty levels. Expedition mode lets you pack your enzyme kit from the full 132-enzyme database and trek through a 4-phase DNA swamp, finishing with a twin-strand finale. Multi-Strand modes add more scrolling DNA lines going in different directions. Three game modes: fastest time, countdown, or limited lives.

Science Quiz

75 questions across 5 topics: Lab Safety, DNA and Molecular Biology, Proteins and Amino Acids, Solutions and Chemistry, and Lab Techniques. Pick a topic, answer questions, track your scores.

Leaderboards

Gold, silver, and bronze for your best scores. Filter by game, difficulty, and mode. Up to 20 scores saved per game. Share any score you are proud of. Victory celebrations with confetti when you set a new personal best.
