Psi & Delta

A robotic adventure with quantum roles to destroy robots

In this Mario-like adventure game players play solo, or together, as a robot that wants to escape. However, an enemy robot is stopping them form entering the exit. In this game you use observation and electron superposition as your power to defeat the robot and make your way out. Later, this evil robot acquires a shield, meaning that you will use light to increase the electrons power and overrule this shield.

Accessible from ages 15 or below, as this game is tailor made for the new generation to set a step into the world of quantum. Beginning tier journey alone, or together, by slowly introducing new quantum concepts along the way to solve the levels.

Why it works as a conversation starter:

The player will need to use the quantum roles to their best advertence to overcome the puzzles and defeat the robot. Watching someone observe electrons and shock the evil robot with tactic, while increasing their energy level. This game is an easy starting point to showcase quantum concepts.
