The Infection Game

An interactive biology game exploring the immune system, pathogens, antigens, antibodies and immune cells, designed for GCSE and A-level students.

The Infection Game is a fun and accurate way to introduce and explore how the immune system defends the body against disease. Students learn about the roles of different immune cells, including T cells and B cells, while playing the game.

The resource can support teaching about infection, communicable diseases, pathogens, viruses and the immune system. It is suitable for GCSE and A-level Biology and can be used to introduce key concepts or reinforce students’ understanding.
