Abstract
This extended abstract presents an intuitive gamified approach to one of the core concepts in quantum error correction: the stabiliser formalism. The game gradually builds up complexity and takes the players from classical repetition codes to Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes. Through its lightweight mechanics, the game offers a glimpse into the notions of communication channel, noise and encoding as well as decoding. It is designed to be inclusive of a wide range of ages and abilities.
