PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Super Psyched is an immersive, educational experience inspired by NASA’s Psyche mission. Players begin by guiding Kuiper, the mission leader, as they make their way to the control room. From there, they must complete a series of five engaging minigames, each simulating a unique aspect of the mission. Whether it’s spacecraft navigation or asteroid composition analysis, players will explore and interact with the science and technology behind the journey to Psyche.
