Resum:	The educational role of games becomes evident as students are more active, able to take decisions, solve problems and react to the results of their own decisions. The educative board game Discovering the Cell is based on problem-solving learning. This game challenges students to collect, discuss and interpret clues in order to decipher a question. In this work we evaluated the game as a tool for teaching health sciences undergraduate students from Rio de Janeiro. In a questionnaire-based analysis, students demonstrated great acceptance for this strategy and the majority of them were able to solve the Case tested, as well as applying the learned content to answer a related question. Taken together, our results indicate the acceptance and suitability of the game as an alternative strategy to help teaching cell and molecular biology to undergraduate students.
