thednagame is a terrific ice breaker and party game with a bioscience twist. It’s a fun way to pair up people at parties, meetings or events. 

How does it work?

There are many variations, but the basic idea is simple. When you arrive at a party or event, you get a name tag that includes a few letters of DNA code. As you meet and greet people at the event, you look for your “partners” – one or more people whose name tags carry DNA code that is complementary to your own.
