PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Our team is developing a web-based educational game focused on space exploration. While NASA missions like Psyche are fascinating, learning about complex missions can sometimes feel overwhelming or disengaging for students and the general public. Our goal is to make learning about space exploration fun and interactive. The game features a space map where each planet acts as a node, leading players to a nonogram puzzle game that connects to different aspects of the Psyche mission. By combining entertainment with education, we provide an engaging way for players to learn about the Psyche mission while challenging their problem-solving skills.

Play the Game!
