Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) needed to develop strategies to maintain teaching activities and ensure that students remain with access to education during social isolation. In this context, the incorporation of active methodologies and the use of resources such as educational games become an important tool to allow students greater socialization, development of creativity and the initiative to solve problems. The present work had for objective to elaborate a didactic game based on the Profile Game, with the purpose of helping in the fixation of important concepts in the discipline of Biophysics. The purpose of the game was to stimulate students’ motivation, assist in fixing concepts related to the topic of study and promote greater socialization of students. In total, 39 participating students were asked at the end of the game about their perception and learning and reported that the strategy contributed to their motivation and better performance in the discipline. Strategies such as the development of didactic games and active methodologies are important so that more complex subjects, such as the teaching of Biophysics, become more pleasurable and bring greater effective participation of students in the learning process.
