PCR Quest – PCR Match Lab Game Brazil L +4

Test your PCR knowledge with Thermo Fisher Scientific’s lab game – PCR Quest – where you travel from lab to lab crushing the world’s toughest diseases. Perfect science game for adults.

Plan your moves by matching 3 or more viruses and bacteria in a row to crush a disease. Use your lab supply boosters—dry ice, petri dishes and isolated DNA to overcome those extra elusive bugs. The more diseases you crush the higher your score.

Matching Viruses and Bacteria:
When four viruses or bacteria of the same color form a match and the direction of the last swap is horizontal this special virus is created. When this new virus forms a match, it will crush all the blocks in that same row. Four viruses of the same color form a match in a vertical pattern a special vertical virus is created as well. And when that virus forms a match it will crush all the blocks in that same vertical column.

If you match 5 viruses of the same color together a special crushing virus is formed that eliminates all other surrounding viruses.

Chain Reactions:
Forming matching viruses or bacteria in an “L” or “T” shaped pattern created a chain reaction. This is identified by a multicolored object with the game. When this is swiped with any adjacent virus or bacteria a chain reaction is formed and eliminates those viruses.

Special Bacteria:
Tiles are not affected by gravity and cannot be moved or swapped to make a match. These include thermal blast, extraction and cycler.

PCR Powers:
Are available from the controls station located at the bottom of the game screen.

DNA Strands:
Challenges take place where you are asked to collect DNA strands. These DNA strands are collected when they reach the bottom of the game board.

Lives:
You have a set number of lives to the play the game. You can gain more lives by earning more coins.

Coins:
Earn coins by completing lab goals and interacting with PCR educational content found throughout the game.

Stars:
Earn stars by gaining as many points as possible at each lab you visit.
