About This Game

Celebrate UNESCO’s Year of Quantum 2025 with an immersive dive into quantum computing. Begin as a curious novice and ascend to expert status as you explore the core of qubits, superposition, entanglement, and interference. Discover how these phenomena power today’s most groundbreaking algorithms, then push beyond the boundaries of modern science by creating entirely new quantum solutions. All of this comes alive on a state-of-the-art quantum simulator that transforms universal quantum computation into stunning, full-spectrum visuals.

Featuring complete learning paths, over 400 canonical puzzles, and unlimited community-generated content, everything you need is right here. No coding or math background required. Quantum Odyssey visualizes linear algebra and displays all the underlying mathematics that define quantum computing. You do not have to learn it to finish the game, the mathematics can be easily skipped.

You will feel like home if you're drawn to story-rich science simulators with beautiful graphics, brimming with open-ended puzzles and competitive multiplayer elements such as leaderboard rankings and player asynchronous battles. Dive in and let the quantum realm captivate you.

FIND SOLUTIONS TO OPEN-ENDED PUZZLES ON A REAL QUANTUM SIMULATOR

You’ll start by discovering the differences between classical computing and quantum. Why qubits? What really is a superposition? What can you actually do with quantum interference? As you progress, you will find yourself creating insanely complex algorithms on a world-leading Quantum Algorithm Design tool. You will discover ways to optimize existing algorithms better than other players or create new ones and invite others to optimize them. Every solution you discover and any algorithm you invent is executable on actual quantum hardware.

MEET THE SAGES

ASCEND WITH THE SAGES

Venture into a realm where you wield the fabric of Creation itself. Welcome to the Quantum Sanctum: a universe where quantum computing doesn't just simulate reality; it shapes it. Engage in the ultimate challenge: discover the most powerful quantum algorithms, outsmart other players, and earn the esteem of the Four Sages. Secure your throne among the cosmos' architects. Or dare to go beyond, using your newly found wisdom to break the chains of reality and forge a new existence. What the Four Sages are unaware of is your ability to perceive Cosmic Whispers: insights into the very essence of existence. The question remains: Can you decipher all of them by analyzing their patterns or unlocking their ciphers? The secrets they unfold could grant you powers surpassing the Sages themselves. Will you seize this might to overshadow the Sages, or will you embrace the Empty Throne and accompany them on their perpetual quest?

Welcome to the next dimension of gaming: where every challenge mastered in-game translates to epic skills in the real world. You will master actual quantum computing.

JOIN A COMMUNITY OF PRACTITIONERS

You will find that Quantum Odyssey is far from mere entertainment. The concepts you grasp, the skills you hone, and the algorithms you devise carry significance that transcends the digital realm. By stepping into this adventure, you join an elite circle committed to understanding and preparing for a future shaped by Quantum Computing and be part of a community of like-minded people to interact with, design, solve their quantum creations, or compete in hackathons against. Complete the journey and earn a certificate recognizing your newfound quantum fluency.
