Evolution Game – Card game

Have fun while learning about evolution with the Evolution Game! Designed by Professor Karine Van Doninck and beautifully illustrated by Ophélie Lhuire, this card game lets you explore how life has gradually evolved over millions of years. Each card reveals a step in the evolution of life, from the development of eyes in mollusks to the complexity of vertebrate brains. Don’t worry if it seems complicated—our attendants are here to guide you through the game. Take a seat, shuffle the cards, and embark on an exciting journey through time, where art and science come together to reveal the wonders of life’s evolution.

Video game Everything

What if you can become anything you want in the universe? Discover and play the thought-provoking video game “Everything”.

In “Everything,” you start as a simple organism or object, but as you play, you have the ability to transform into different entities, ranging from microscopic bacteria to vast galaxies. The game’s core mechanic allows you to become any object, plant, animal, or celestial body that you encounter, seamlessly travelling between outer and inner space.

The gameplay is centered around exploration and transformation. There are no traditional objectives or goals; instead, you are encouraged to explore the interconnectedness of all things. You can move through the game world, interact with other entities, and listen to narrated philosophical musings inspired by the ideas of British philosopher Alan Watts. The experience is both meditative and reflective, as you gradually piece together a deeper understanding of existence and the universe.

Play Corner

In this playful area, we invite you to have fun, but also to use games as a pretext to reflect on our environment (in the broadest sense of the term). If you’d like to test your knowledge or learn something new, we’ve got a special “Nature questions” goose game for you, or “Enigmas? Our Earth”. If you’re feeling more like a creator, the “Planet” game is for you, asking you to cleverly position different elements to make your planet conducive to life.
In a game somewhat akin to Dixit, “Bioviva! Planète : Mers et Océans” invites you to express your emotions and exercise your deduction or memory. For the younger ones, we’ll be discovering fruits and vegetables with “Veggie Planet”, or helping animals on the ice floe with “Little Cooperation”. Games are available for ages 3 and up, and whether you’ve got 5 minutes or more, we’ve got a game for you.

Geometric puzzle

A polygon is a closed geometric shape made up of line segments. Can any polygon be cut into a limited number of pieces and then rearranged into a square?

We invite you to explore this fascinating question through the game of puzzles. What about three- or five-dimensional spaces? Would things be different if we had the ability to divide our shapes into an infinite number of pieces? We encourage you to join us in the fascinating world of geometric dissection. Join us for an adventure into the world of geometric transformations through puzzles and intellectual challenges.
