Microbe Chase

Sixty seconds of fast questions build your pile of points. The Strain then puts three offers on the table, and the one you take decides how far down the ladder you start. From there it is head to head: you answer, the Strain answers the same question, and every right answer moves that player one rung. Reach home and a timed final chase decides whether the points are yours.

Questions477, four options each, with the reason shown after every answer
CoverageAll fifteen chapters, grouped into seven grounds plus three long ones
ClockVisible in every round, from the 60 second builder to the 90 second final

Pairing drill · five trays

Microbe Match

Six drawings on the left, six labels on the right, and 120 seconds for five trays. Tap a drawing, tap the label that belongs with it, and a one line reason prints underneath. A wrong pair costs four seconds, so the clock itself is the penalty. Clear a whole tray and you win ten seconds back.

Pairs182 in all, dealt six at a time, with no repeat inside one tray
OrganismsDrawn smears matched to the organism, to the Gram reaction, or to the disease it causes
Stains and platesGram, acid-fast, capsule and spore stains, hemolysis, MacConkey and sensitivity testing
DrugsA cell with one part lit up, matched to the drug class that strikes it or the resistance trick that blocks it

Play Microbe Match

Before you start

Each game is a single file, so you can keep one on a flash drive or open it with no signal.
Nothing is saved. Scores, streaks and missed items live only until you close the tab.
Every answer comes with the reason behind it. Reading that line is where most of the learning sits.
The keyboard works throughout. In Microbe Chase the number keys 1 to 4 pick an answer, and Tab plus Enter works everywhere.
Every drawing is built from shapes written into the page, so the pictures appear even with no connection.
Colors follow the stains. Purple means the cell held the crystal violet, pink means the dye washed out, and red rods on a blue field are acid-fast.
Names, drug classes and lab values follow the chapters, so 121 degrees Celsius, 0.2 micrometers and a CD4 count of 200 mean the same here as they do there.
