Game Features:
Hep B-Ware is a 7-level game in which players take the role of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) navigating the bloodstream in search of a liver cell to infect. At the end of each level, players can check their knowledge by answering a pop-quiz. Players may tap the highlighted scientific terms to learn more.



By intersecting real science, with attractive visuals and animations, and simple gameplay, each game level teaches players about essential aspects of the complex mechanism by which HBV infects liver cells.

The player will be able to identify and discuss key elements of HBV infection throughout the viral life cycle including binding, attachment and entry; uncoating and nuclear entry; transcription and translation; glycosylation of surface proteins; capsid assembly; and HBV egress.
