Interactive Physics Story Games

Reading a textbook often feels like being told a series of unrelated, unintuitive facts.

Physics shouldn’t be this way, though. Physics has practical, real-world applications!

Not only does learning through a story make concepts immediately more fun and engaging, but it grounds physics knowledge in actual applications.

Electricity Interactive Story Demo

In this interactive story, you play an adventurer travelling across a strange land.

You meet a young inventor and her friend the tinker-bug who are in need of your help.

Their mentor, the Sorceress of Circuits, has been kidnapped, and their castle full of electrical inventions has been sabotaged by the nefarious Professor Watt.

As you read through the story, you'll encounter challenges and puzzles which slowly and intuitively build an understanding of electricity.

The full game introduces these topics:

  • Positive and Negative Charge

  • Conductors and Insulators

  • Current, Voltage, and Resistance

  • Simple Circuits with Batteries and Bulbs

  • Parallel and Series

  • The foundation of Ohm's law, but without the math.

The version below is just a short demo. It works on a laptop, desktop, or android phone at the moment. If you like the game and would like a single email when it's finished, you can add your name to the list here. (I'll delete your email afterwards.)
