About Aileron

Games Built by
Scientists & Designers

Aileron Studios was founded on a simple belief: the best way to understand science is to play with it. Not read about it. Not watch videos about it. Play with it.

Every Aileron game embeds scientific concepts into mechanics, not just aesthetics. In Science RPG, Heisenberg is dangerous because you can never be sure where he is. In DNA Chess, pieces evolve because that’s how genetics works. In Subatomic, the rules change because particles do.

Based in Richmond, VA. Powered by curiosity.
