"Mosquito Race" also challenges the player to learn scientific fact based questions about mosquitoes in order to gain lives and earn more points.

The concept, design and art for "Mosquito Race" was created by Team Chi-Buzz, a diverse group of urban girls, aged 13-16. Led by indie game designer Susana Ruiz, the girls were part of a participatory design process that took place at the 3G Summit, held August 12-15th Columbia College, 2010. While the technical production of the game for the iPhone and iPod Touch devices is being carried out by John Popadiuk of Zidware Interactive, an indie software design company specializing in learning apps for children, the team of girls participated fully in all game play design intricacies, the composing of the game document, and the creation of all game art.
