Netz! is an HTML5 open-source browser game created by Christos Tsiapalis and Rudolf Hanel at the Medical University of Vienna to teach about networks in an engaging way. The document discusses how networks are commonly first encountered in university courses but could be taught earlier using a visually appealing game, as networks represent everyday relationships and are an interesting field of study for teachers.
