The Quantum Game
Step into a world shaped by quantum technology. Make choices. Face consequences. Discover whether you belong in the future of computation.
You need to guide society into the quantum era by 2050. Classical computing alone can no longer solve the world's most complex problems.
Your decisions will shape how quantum technologies are adopted across cities, healthcare, security, and space. Choose wisely — the future depends on it.
This experience is designed to build computational thinking and curiosity about future careers in quantum computing.
By 2050, quantum computing has moved from laboratories into the foundations of society. Governments, industries, and researchers now rely on quantum systems to solve problems classical computers cannot.
You have been appointed as a strategic decision-maker guiding how quantum technologies are adopted. Your role is not to calculate equations, but to think computationally and systemically.
There are no right or wrong answers — only consequences and learning.
Your advisor will guide how quantum technologies are applied. Who do you choose?
