Forensic science remains underrepresented in Malaysian secondary education, despite engaging students in complex genetic concepts like DNA structure, inheritance, and variation. To address this, a forensic themed biology board game aligned with Form 4 and Form 5 genetics topics was developed. Students act as forensic analysts, solving simulated criminal cases using DNA fingerprinting, blood analysis, and trait identification. This gamified student centered approach promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving. By bridging education and entertainment, the board game enhances scientific literacy, improves genetic comprehension, and inspires interest in biotechnology and forensic science careers.
