Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Quantum Odyssey is more than just a game. We worked for 6 years to find out the best formula to create a highly addictive experience where mastering the rules of the game equates to mastering real quantum algorithms design. We want to start in Early Access because although large chunks of the experience are complete, there is still so much to do, so much to optimize for, to make sure the game sets the standards for how future quantum games should look and feel like.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As long as we need to make sure this becomes an exceptional gaming experience that achieves its missions: teaches you everything about quantum computing and multiplayer features are highly polished enough to organize E-sports like tournaments in quantum.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to incorporate a few additional game modes and a lot of seasonal/ ranked events that go beyond the main plot of Quantum Odyssey.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“No major bugs/ crashes were reported during Closed Beta.
Contains the full story and core features, fully tested.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we will offer a discounted price for those who buy it during Early Access and we are counting on their help to further polish Quantum Odyssey”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“ABSOLUTELY. Since day one actually (6 years ago!). We have one of the largest discords servers in the world for a quantum edutech/ videogame!”

Reviews

“The learning method proposed by Quark Interactive replaces Dirac’s bra-ket notation and linear algebra used today, with a fun and visual puzzle-building approach to be used in learning or discovering new quantum algorithms.”
IEEE

“Quarks Interactive believes in showing kids the way that they can shape the future. They believe that the way to achieve this isn’t by actually guiding them along the way but to instead give them the tools to forge their own paths. They achieve this by using their game, Quantum Odyssey.”
Try Engineering

“With Quantum Odyssey, the idea of applying “quantum reasoning” simply becomes a matter of encoding data under the form of a puzzle and then simply solving it, similar to any other puzzle video game that gamers around the world enjoy while also easily understanding complicated phenomena in our Universe.”
Start-Up

About This Game

Quantum Odyssey will get you to understand and eventually become an expert in quantum computing: discover how qubit works, why they differ from bits and go all the way to designing insanely complex quantum algorithms that scientists haven't yet discovered. All the stuff you need is inside the game. You don't need to know how to code or understand linear algebra anymore to discover real quantum computing.

You will feel like home if you're drawn to story-rich science simulators with beautiful graphics, brimming with open-ended programming puzzles, strategic decision-making minigames, 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.

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.

MEET THE SAGES

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.

GET A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION

Complete the Odyssey and obtain the "Quantum Literate" certificate, endorsed by the European Union's DigiQ consortium of universities. This certificate will attest to your skills in this new field of science.
