Introduction: The use of educational technologies on biosafety can be an innovative and interactive strategy to provide knowledge concerning specific issues and work processes. Objective: To develop an educational quiz game on biosafety in Dentistry; to construct and validate, in a pedagogical and technical way, the 60 evaluation items to be incorporated into the system. Method: The study was organized in several stages: elaboration of the didactic-pedagogical project; development of the game; elaboration of 60 evaluative items; and validation of content by two professionals in the field of pedagogy and five experts in the field of biosafety. Results: The pedagogical evaluation results allowed us to adjust the game questions according to pedagogical criteria. The technical evaluation results were obtained by using the Content Validation Index (CVI), which exceeded 80% in the textual clarity criteria, practical relevance, adequacy to the public and response time of the questions. Conclusions: An open and free access instrument, the educational game can be used as a knowledge tool in biosafety, responding to the continuous demand of students and professionals in search of democratization of information.
