Network Collapse is a STEM education game for grade 6-12 students to interactively learn about how information is transmitted and protected on networks. Players assume the role of a router and must transfer incoming data packets to the correct outgoing pathway without losing too many. Eventually the player must also recognize a cyber-attack and turn on the best tool to protect their network. Six levels introduce core basic ideas with increasing complexity in game play to maintain engagement while learning new ideas.

5/5

Fun game with educational value

In essence this a multi-task sorting game based set in a world of routers and networks. Gaming aspect is very well done, polished, responsive, well paced. Even if you know how routers work you should have some fun just sorting packets and playing. And if you don't know much about networks you will definitely pick some stuff up. For free game this deserves more exposure!

Fun enough and challenging.

It should have taken place inside a big router, instead of a simple warehouse, but that's ok.
