Summary/Abstract: In the present paper, we introduce an adventure digital game which presents, in an exciting way, the main concepts related to the statistical modelling of the atmosphere. A search and fight game plot turns out to be a travel through probabilistic density functions, testing of statistical hypotheses and detection of nuclear decay by means of a Geiger-Müller counter. “The Chemical Cloud” is a third person game with enough different scenarios randomly activated in order to make it interesting for returning players. Furthermore, the game includes sufficient mathematical knowledge to be considered a valuable teaching tool and a potential method of revision and testing.
