Parasite Patrol is a detective-style game about parasite lifecycles suitable for use in university or K-12 settings. The goal of the game is for participants to role-play parasite detectives who are investigating one of three parasite-infected hosts: a human, cow, or dog. Each host is infected with five parasites. Players must find all of the parasite clues for their host through a matching memory-style game. They must then use the information on the cards to create all five of the parasite lifecycles. The first team to correctly pin all of the parasite lifecycles onto their host wins the #1 parasite detective badge. Parasite Patrol consists of several sections: the gameboard, clue cards, clue card covers, and host cards that can be printed or used in an online format. We also provide a facilitation guide and discussion questions to accompany the game. More information about the creation of the game and evidence of activity effectiveness in an undergraduate setting can be found in the linked undergraduate honours thesis. We welcome suggestions and revisions from the community. |
