Lab Blast – Printable Science Mystery Game for Kids (Ages 6–7)
The school’s science fair has finally arrived, and excitement fills the lab. Students proudly present their experiments—colorful mixtures, bubbling flasks, and carefully prepared projects.
But during the very first demonstration, something unexpected happens: a sudden mini-explosion rocks the room. Luckily, no one is hurt, but the equipment is damaged and the fair is temporarily halted.
The project had been tested before without any problem, so this strange incident raises questions. Was it really an accident… or something more suspicious?
In this 6–7 version, kids step into the role of junior investigators. They follow a clear trail of clues, solve puzzles one by one, and use the investigation sheet to eliminate suspects until they uncover what really happened in the lab.
Why Choose This Science Investigation Game?
This version keeps the same fun science-fair storyline, but the investigation experience is structured for early elementary kids. The clues stay clear. The logic feels accessible. And the puzzles are designed to build confidence as the mystery unfolds.

- A story kids can follow easily, with a clear mystery to solve
- Puzzles adapted to ages 6–7, focusing on observation and simple deduction

I used this mystery game with my second grade class at the start of the school year. I split the class into small teams, and each group worked at their table to solve the clues. When they thought they had the right answer, they called me over to check, and I pointed them to the next one to find. They searched for the clue, then came back to their table to work it out. The whole thing ran beautifully — simple, fun, and a great way to build classroom connection right from the start.
