Mendel's Genomic Maze
This backrooms building teaches the basics of Mendelian inheritance through eerie corridors, scientific clues, and playful genetics puzzles. Each floor introduces ideas such as traits, alleles, genotype, phenotype, dominance, recessiveness, and the connection between chromosomes and DNA.
How the Lesson Unfolds
As you move through the maze, signs and doors ask you to apply simple genetic reasoning. Some doors need short passwords hidden in the themed clues, while others test clear concepts with multiple-choice questions. The experience is designed to be atmospheric, educational, and winnable.
Scientific Mood
Expect yellowed laboratory walls, impossible greenhouse corners, humming fluorescent lights, arcade-like DNA machines, and portraits of pea plants that seem to know more about heredity than they should.
