PROJECT DESCRIPTION

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