DNA Play

In DNA Play, players will create monsters by assembling blocks in accordance with each puzzle's parameters. Certain blocks will need to be placed in the correct order to build each of the monster's body parts, much as the nucleotides in a strand of DNA appear in a specific sequence. Once a monster is complete, players will get to interact with him/her in short, silly segments that include scaring the monster with a spider or making him/her dance with a disco ball.

DNA Play is designed with young players in mind, so the controls are easy to use. That being said, kids probably won't grasp the scientific implications of what they're doing unless they play with an adult who can explain it.

• Does the game help you understand what DNA is? Is there anything confusing about it?
• Do you have a favorite monster? If so, which one?
• Do you think science is cool? Why/why not?
