Abstract

This game had originally been developed as a prototype prior to 2017. We decided to completely overhaul it for our Tackling TB exhibition at Verdant Works, Dundee, in 2023-24. We designed the game's main output as a large floor rug, 2.7 by 3.5m, to sit in the exhibition space. This was complemented by scientists figures, created to showase the diverse range of people in our building.

We have also used the game in a smaller, printable version. Together with the rug, we have used the game for many subsequent events.
