"Robert Koch proved definitively that the dreaded disease tuberculosis is caused by specific bacteria. How did he do it?

Koch developed several methods for detecting the causes of infectious diseases that are still used today. Such as: The slide technique - fixing bacteria onto thin glass slides. Staining - adding dyes to make bacteria more visible. The plate technique - obtaining pure cultures by isolating specific bacteria from a complex sample.

In this game you will try to repeat Koch's remarkable successes. Carry out your own experiments using Koch's methods and discover the bacteria causing tuberculosis. Rather than scoring points and doing things quickly, this game rewards figuring out what to do in the correct order to allow you to move on and reach the end!"
