Gerard Layzard

Blast your way through bugs trying to take over the Ant Queen's colony. For science.

How do organisms maximize their survival? What if you're a tasty morsel and can't avoid detection from predators? Perhaps a solution is to look like something that predators don't like to eat! In Gerard Layzard, players take on the role of Gerard, a cyborg lizard (or Layzard) for hire.

They must try and save the Ant Queen's colony from invading bugs. As they play, they'll be providing scientists with data to better understand which traits make a better mimic.

When the players campaign is complete, the class can look into the data collected to learn more about mimicry. Gerard Layzard teaches players about the different traits that make an animal a successful mimic and how similar organisms need to look to be mistaken for one another. Show More
