Playfully immerse yourself in the world of molecular biology? This is exactly what the new escape game “Exit the Ribosome”, which is now available to borrow from the Ludovico toy library, makes possible.

The game was developed in collaboration with pupils, the Open Lab Graz and Brigitte Pertschy from the Institute of Molecular Biosciences at the University of Graz. The idea was realised as part of a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF.

Ludovico contributed valuable experience in the field of game design to the development. The handover has now been celebrated together with Ludothek Managing Director Sarah Ulrych.

“Exit the Ribosome” brings science to life – for anyone who is curious and likes to tinker. Anyone who is interested can now borrow the game from the Ludovico toy library. More information can be found on the Ludovico website.
