Community reviews for Plague Inc.

I really like this game. It drives home the idea that I am trying to instill in my students; to be safe. In their lives they need to watch for symptoms and transmission points and this game illustrates that very well. All students, no matter their learning levels, were able to enjoy this game. Some Spanish speakers needed a little bit of help with words but they caught on quickly. Be aware that students quickly get involved in their games and don't want to leave class or they secretly try to play when you have moved onto another lesson on another day. I use it, after the initial introduction, for students who have completed assignments early as a reward for good work.

This is a great interactive learning tool to see how evolutionary actions have consequences on a global scale in modern societies. It is a fund and engaging game where students are given complete control of evolving their disease and seeing the impacts of their choices.

The way that I use the game, alot of planning is required and the game doesn't end fast enough to be completed in a normal period. Likewise, a full day class would be more appropriate for my application

There are a lot of people who don't want to use this app because the focus is to create a bacteria/virus that will wipe out the world. However, it's a great hook for a unit on the spread of viruses. Students quickly understand how different factors can impede or help the spread of disease. I would only use it with advanced high school students.

I believe that this product could be used as a teaching tool, but in a very limited way that helps to reinforce the factors that are needed for diseases to spread effectively. I enjoyed the interactivity of the lesson, and watching the students put in the needed strategic effort to solve the limitations presented. It could be helpful, particularly for students that have additional time available, and are waiting for their classmates to finish an activity. With that said, I do not believe that I would use it on a regular basis, or more than once for any student.
