Rebo’s Research Adventure Description
Do you have what it takes to journey on an adventure back in time to collect life-saving research?
In ‘Rebo’s Research Adventure’, you can join Rebo, the NHS Research Robot on a journey back in time, visiting key moments in history when medical discoveries were made to help us care for patients with diabetes.
Collect positive elements such as 'insulin' and 'French lilac' to gain points while avoiding fizzy drinks and sweets which could see you lose valuable seconds of play. As you make your virtual journey, you can move through new, more challenging levels - if you make it through the levels the quickest you might see yourself listed on an ultimate leader board!
The NIHR team behind the game hope that while players have fun they will also learn how health research is essential to finding life-changing new treatments for patients in the NHS and across the world.
The game also highlights how patients and the public play an important part in the research being delivered by NHS teams. It is hoped that the game will appeal to all ages and can engage people from a wide variety of backgrounds.
The game was exclusively revealed at the Norwich Science Festival’s ‘Health Sciences’ day on Friday 26 October at the Forum, Norwich. Visitors to the NIHR stand had an opportunity to play a demo version of the game before it is released, as well as talk to some of the team about how people can get involved in health research in real life.
