Lab Blast – Science Investigation Game (Ages 8+)

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? Kids step into the role of investigators, follow the evidence, and solve the mystery behind the lab explosion.

Why Choose This Science Investigation Game for Ages 8+?

This version is built for older kids who enjoy deeper reasoning, more detailed clues, and the satisfaction of solving a real case. The storyline stays easy to follow, but the puzzles are designed to feel more advanced and engaging than younger versions.
