About Solve the Outbreak
Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to get clues and analyze data to solve the outbreak and save lives! In this fun app, you get to be the Disease Detective.
Do you quarantine the village? Interview people who are sick? Run more lab tests? The better your answers, the higher your score - and the quicker you’ll climb the ranks to become a decorated Disease Detective. In level 1, you’ll start out as a Trainee and can earn badges by solving scenarios, with the goal of earning the top rank: Disease Detective.
Unlock Level 2 by mastering all 12 outbreaks. Then earn honors by solving new and more challenging scenarios. Earn recognitions like Surveillance Honors and Treatment Honors.
New outbreaks happen every day, and CDC's Disease Detectives are on the front lines, working 24/7 to save lives and protect people. When a new outbreak happens, Disease Detectives are sent in to figure out how the outbreak started before it spreads further.
In this app, you'll also:
・ Learn about diseases and outbreaks in an engaging way.
・ See how CDC's Disease Detectives save lives around the world.
・ Post your scores on Facebook or Twitter and challenge your friends to play!
-Only available on 7" tablets or larger

I heard about the app from the CDC Twitter account and decided to try it out - not dissimilar to some of the problems in my university infectious diseases course! Really well done and a good balance of education and entertainment.

Interesting so far. Definitely see a little first-world arrogance in how one of the early cases is handled, but other than that it's been very realistic and educational.

Fun game but I guessed several outbreak causes because I read a lot about ID (and most are based on real outbreaks, with some changed details). I really like that some questions have more than one right answer, so you must pick the best answer. You can redo each outbreak to see where you chose wrong and get it right/improve your score. Took me one evening to do Level 1 during three 1-hr dramas I barely watched, I was more absorbed by this game. Starting Level 2 now.
