Science en jeu and Game for Science: CREO's science games portal

Science en jeu, or Game for Science in English, was a free portal and virtual world of science games from the Canadian production studio CREO. Its islands covered health, aeronautics, genomics, the environment and engineering.

What Game for Science offered

CREO is a Canadian production studio specialized in science; the name stands for Creativity, Rigorous attention to detail, Excellence and Originality. Besides its own edutainment products it provides customized scientific communication services to governments and organizations. Game for Science, in French Science en jeu, was its science-themed virtual world and serious games portal, with many standalone games free to play.

Game for Science was presented as the first virtual world dedicated to science. Players explored virtual islands according to their interests: health, aeronautics, genomics, the environment, engineering and more. Each island mixed games, facts, photos and videos on its theme. The neurons were announced as a future way to modify one's avatar. Completing a task set by a game character earned neurons, and hidden smart stars found with the knowledge detector earned more.

Games on the portal

Forestia puts the player in charge of sustainable forest management: carrying out forest inventories, supplying mills with multi-functional tree fellers, fighting massive forest fires and protecting a section of forest with an exceptional ecosystem.

Genomia Island, an expansion of the portal populated with garden gnomes who are experts in genomics, added chat with friends plus quests, games and information on genomics. On Aeronia Island, M.A.R.S. (Mars Academy of Research and Science) teaches players about careers related to space exploration.

What is true today

The portal's addresses no longer lead to the games. In November 2026 science-en-jeu.ca forwards to a different domain that shows an unrelated commercial site, and game-for-science.ca forwards to gameforscience.com, which shows an error message. The M.A.R.S. address shows a message that the page is gone, and the Genomia address does not load.

CREO itself is online at creo.ca. The site describes a Montreal studio creating innovative digital experiences for cultural, educational and corporate clients, and lists a recent exhibition project announced on June 18, 2026. It does not mention Game for Science, Forestia or M.A.R.S. The French-language page presents the company as a studio for innovative digital experiences.
