I had the same problem (it just said "the application IntelligentDesignMac can't be opened"), but could actually fix it by going through these steps: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7586240. Basically navigate to the app in terminal and then  chmod +x it. (That guide assumes you have it in Applications, but it is easy to translate to other places)

I've been trying but my terminal keeps telling me "no such file or directory" 

After which command? It looks like a problem of navigation, but maybe it's something else. I did it by directly opening terminal at the folder the game came in by right-clicking the folder, then doing " cd IntelligentDesignMac ", " cd Contents/MacOS ", "chmod +x * ". That star should mean the game, since there's nothing else in the folder. Hope you can get it to work!

I typed this in my terminal but its not opening anything sadly :( 

 cd

cd Applications

 cd /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2 

 cd /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2/IntelligentDesignMac.app/Contents 

 cd /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2/IntelligentDesignMac.app/Contents/MacOS 

 chmod +x /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2/IntelligentDesignMac.app/Contents/MacOS/IntelligentDesignMac 

Well, you shouldn't do any of the cd commands, since you chmod the full name of the file anyway. You should just open a fresh terminal window at your user and directly do " chmod +x /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2/IntelligentDesignMac.app/Contents/MacOS/IntelligentDesignMac". Doing the cds is exactly what changes the navigation. Sorry if I confused you!

OMG thank you thank you thank you <3 It is working now! Sorry for my lack of knowledge about how to use the terminal but you've been very helpful!

A better reccomendation is to right click on the app click show package contents and then open the MacOS folder in that and drag the file to a terminal with the line chmod +x (with a space after x) already typed in this will automaticaly do what you need without having to cd
