The game associated with the Launchpad exhibition at London's Science Museum aims to introduce young visitors (aged 8-14) to the world of physics, the properties of different materials and how electricity works.
WithLaunchball, you can get to grips with the game online, as you use bricks made of materials that conduct electricity, heat and energy to create a ball of boards that quickly become a real puzzle.
The game is very accessible, yet complex and fun. An excellent game which, through its themes and the questions it raises, also invites players to visit the exhibition and come full circle.
