The game can be played on a computer, mobile phone or tablet. Just as the name implies, this game works like a traditional game of Tetris. Clinicians have two minutes — the time it takes for a patient to die from sepsis in the game — to diagnose and treat the animated patients who slowly sink down the screen. Clinicians can click on diagnostic tools and treatment options to save them.

The game is available for free online.
