Beginning on April 4, kids will be able to participate in an 8-week online-offline mystery game called VANISHED. The game, developed and curated by MIT’s Education Arcade and the Smithsonian Institution, includes puzzles, real-world museum challenges, and sample collecting. Players will race to solve an environmental disaster mystery by using real scientific techniques. Do you think you have what it takes to play the game and solve the mystery?

The game is open to players across the United States, and registration begins this week. Visit http://vanished.mit.edu if you’d like to join in!

Learn more about VANISHED on the game’s website.
