Browser does not support Canvas! Ace Altro

An online crime drama logic game, where the ultimate goal is to solve a mystery, ‘Who done it?’. A player/detective can evaluate statements of witnesses that are given in everyday language describing what they know about the crime. Using symbolic logic the player translates the statements into logical sentences and evaluates the outcome against the collected evidence and the set of suspects.  The complexity of the statements, suspects’ diversity and evidence varies depending on the age/level of the player.

for the sciences, our main focus, are games that have been specifically designed to teach, expand concepts, and reinforce development of math and the sciences (including computer science).  These are primarily video games, sometimes in combination with robotics and robotics simulations.  These games and exercises are meant to be both fun and engaging. 

We are just starting to test a few of these in the classroom.  You can also take a look at our Research and Development section to see what we currently are working on.  Please also let us know what you think is most important.  This will help us determine the priority of the games we will produce.
