In Mission: Mars, players can land on the red planet and explore in their survival suit and Mars Rover. The challenges they’re asked to navigate are similar to those presented to real-life astronauts and scientists, such as discovering past evidence of water, collecting samples of water ice and (perhaps more science fiction than fact) rescuing fellow explorers. Participants will also be able to design and create new vehicles as they play.
