About Reverse The Odds

Reverse The Odds is a fun and unique puzzle adventure game where the further you progress the more you are helping to beat cancer sooner. And it's all free!

Play at your own pace, whether you just have a few minutes waiting for the bus, or hours to kill on the train, you can build a wonderful Odd world and help save lives by improving cancer treatments sooner.

By examining the patterns within cancer cell slides and identifying aspects such as the number of cells or the colour of cells, you can move up game levels and achieve rewards… Don’t worry about getting your analysis wrong – the same cell slide data will be studied by many other users to ensure accuracy and no single person’s diagnosis or treatment is affected by your actions - your analysis underpins research for future treatments.

What are users saying about Reverse The Odds

Q70%
by Q####:

I'm not sure whether the app design is rigged or the majority of the users have no clue how to play it. In countless occasions a completely black picture is shown, yet when indicating that none of the cancer patterns are present, no reward is granted. ESPECIALLY when playing for rewards. The same goes with pictures that only have blue cells in them. It seems that the creators are trying to get as much slides analysed as possible, regardless of the quality of that analysis.

No new data for analysis downloads any longer and the email address for 'contact the developer' below isn't in use any more. Mail sent is failing to be delivered

The game is enjoyable and (hopefully) helps scientists. Mine has a bit of a glitch where it can't match the slides properly so I hope my contribution gets through.

Q70%
by Q####:

However, I can't seem to get potions. Not that I care about the potions, but it probably means that too many people aren't getting the slides right (especially as I don't get potions when the slide is completely black)

Q70%
by Q####:

When I first downloaded this it was great, but since the last update it has not given me any potions, makes it impossible to complete harder levels with no potions. If it wasn't for this big the game would be challenging but entertaining.

Q70%
by Q####:

Doesn't seem to be working. It doesn't have any slides. I still gave it 4 stars just because I love the fact that it helps find a cure for cancer...when it works. Please, fix this game!

Q70%
by Q####:

Both my mother and my aunt have had breast cancer in the past (5 years ago) and now my aunt has a recurrence. She just had a full mastectomy and now is waiting to start either chemo or radiation therapy. If this game can help even in a tiny way with furthering research into a cure I don't see why anyone would complain about it and everyone should be playing it because cancer hits us all in some shape or form sometime in our life. It might be anyone in your family including you but it will hit guaranteed.

C70%

For some reason I can't get the slides and they won't come up

V70%

One of the few games you can waste time on without actually feeling like you're wasting time.

I love this game

Q70%
by Q####:

Good game and cause, but could do with more immediate feedback on how good your analysis is. Or at least readily available examples of the cells to spot and those to ignore! Had issues for the first couple of weeks where the app will start and take me to the first level, but won't get any further than the circling load icon. This is on Android on a Samsung Ace.

Z70%
by Z####:

The game is quite fun. You are motivated to analyse slides as it provides you with additional chances to play the puzzle game. I have been finding it difficult to unlock these during the day, but you do get free ones each day you open the app.

Trying to play on Nexus 5 but every time I try to start playing it just gets stuck on a loading screen.

Q70%
by Q####:

My 5* are based on the fact that this is doing something benevolent. I'd rather line a scientist's computer with data than a company's pockets with money. That being said, I feel like a few features are broken or poorly designed. Realistically, from a gamer POV, this is a 3.5 star game, max, but from a public good POV, this game gets 5*.

Q70%
by Q####:

Was really looking forward to playing this. Loading the first level, all it does is spin and freezes. Not happy. Same thing happens with the hubbys iPhone 5s. :-(

Q70%
by Q####:

I must be an idiot cuz I can't understand how to reverse the odds. Still I've given it more than an hour of looking at slides and scratching my head but I'll try again later. It seems to work fine on my Nexus 6

O70%
by O####:

I don't know why it's not working. I was really looking forward to playing this game as it seemed a helpful and useful game that could help. I'm really disappointed it won't load and quite annoyed plus frustrated as it works for other people

S70%
by S####:

Wanted to do my bit but I click on a slide and it just stays on loading screen so I have no idea if it's a good game or not

Q70%
by Q####:

A fun little game with a story and progression to keep you interested, and it helps cancer research! What's not to love? :)

Q70%
by Q####:

It would be nice to have more immediate feedback on the slide evaluation. I'd like my input to be valuable, and I don't always have a sense for how I did on any particular slide. Hard to improve without the feedback!

Q70%
by Q####:

It's a simple, easy and theraputic game and it feels like a better use of my time than playing a mindless game that has no real purpose, as my analysis of slides could actually help make a difference.

Q70%
by Q####:

Gets challenging later on, finally works on the tablet. The only thing would be the graphics but I don't mind that, glad I can finally continue on all my devices XD. Update 9/14: Not working on tablet, uninstalling for the foreseeable future

Q70%
by Q####:

Even if it were just the puzzles and the map, it'd be neat... But the slides are awesome and a great way to help research! 9/20/2015 - currently the hourglass and matching message haven't gone away... I can't earn any potions and I'm not sure if my slide analysis is doing anything. :-(

L70%
by L####:

Great cause, fun game, but lots of problems. I analyzed about 220 slides and then began having problems. Every time I tried to improve land, the game would take me through the starting "slideshow" and the take me to a slide. I would analyze it, then the game would give me a loading icon and not leave that screen. I would exit out of the game and the same sequence of events would repeat itself even with the same exact slide.

B70%
by B####:

I love this game and it does feel nice that you're helping a cause. Would recommend if you have time, the best bit is there is no money involved.

U70%
by U####:

Simple, fun game for all ages which has the bonus of also helping fight cancer. Angry Birds never did that!

If you are colorblind, you may not be able to be of much help. I didn't even make it through the tutorial.

Q70%
by Q####:

Can't really say I hated it as it will not work at all so have not yet seen what it's like. Goes through the door marked "lab" and gets stuck. Shame as was looking forward to playing

Q70%
by Q####:

The matching icon at the bottom just spins. I haven't had it match any of my slides for the past week.

Q70%
by Q####:

The fact that while playing a game you are contributing to a good cause and helping to solve real life problems, is great and it actually encourages you to carry on playing, instead of giving up like all the other games in the app store. However sometimes while playing the game crashes and goes back to my home screen so I have to start again.

A70%
by A####:

The concept is fantastic however, in practice it doesn't quite hit it. I never really get any matches which means I only get a few lives everyday. I would love to play on it more and analyse more but without any lives being earned one cannot. The not sure button would be more helpful if it could fully explain and show what exactly you're looking for.
