Plague Mini Web — Global Infection Simulation & Mutation Strategy
How to play
The pandemic begins with Patient Zero in East Asia. Click red DNA bubbles (☣️) as infections spread to earn DNA points. Open the 'Evolve Disease' lab to unlock Transmissions (Air, Water, Birds), Symptoms (Coughing, Fever, Total Organ Failure), and Abilities (Cold, Heat, Drug Resistances). When international cure research begins, tap blue Cure bubbles (💉) to set back the vaccine percentage.
Origin & history
Plague Mini Web brings the globally celebrated pandemic simulation strategy of Plague Inc. directly to the browser. As the master architect of an emergent pathogen, players steer contagion through air and sea transit routes across continents, evolving symptoms and resistances to stay ahead of the global vaccine development race.
FAQ
Why is it dangerous to increase Lethality too early in the game?
If lethality is too high too early, infected hosts die before they can pass the pathogen to new victims, causing the disease to burn out. High severity also triggers immediate border closures (shutting down flights and ships) and initiates the global cure race. The winning strategy is to spread stealthily via mild symptoms and transmission, then rapidly evolve lethal organ failure once the world is covered.
How do I infect isolated island nations like Greenland or Madagascar?
Greenland and Madagascar have no airports and rely exclusively on seaports. You must evolve Water 1 and Water 2 transmission to hitch rides on cargo ships. Furthermore, Greenland has an extreme polar climate and requires Cold Resistance 1 and 2 to flourish. Ensuring overseas ship transmission before countries lock down their ports is the key.
