An interactive science adventure that teaches electricity and circuits through story choices and puzzles. For kids ages 8–12. Plays in a browser.

👉 Try the free demo here — play a sample of the adventure before you buy.

A mysterious Professor Watt has kidnapped the Sorceress of Circuits and sabotaged her castle of electrical inventions. Her apprentice — a young inventor named Charge — is holding the place together alone, and the gears are still smoking. To get the Sorceress back, your child has to learn how electricity actually works.

The castle teaches them. The Sorceress kept giant charged particles as pets, so there are glowing cats wandering the halls that turn out to be cations, and picking two of them up is how you find out what like charges do. Further in there are batteries made of lemons, a light bulb powered by a pickle, and circuits that have to be rewired before a door will open.

What they'll learn

✔ Positive and negative charge
✔ Conductors and insulators
✔ Current, voltage and resistance
✔ Simple circuits with batteries and bulbs
✔ Series and parallel circuits
✔ Lemon batteries, potato batteries, and pickle light bulbs

Why it sticks. Kids aren't reading facts, they're using each concept to solve a puzzle and move the story forward. That builds the conceptual foundation that makes equations feel intuitive later — when they meet V=IR in a physics class, they'll already know what it's describing.

How big it is

About 30,000 words across 272 scenes — the length of a middle-grade novel, except that it branches. There are nearly 500 choices in it, and different decisions lead down different paths, so a second play-through isn't the same as the first.

"It is rare to find a resource that is so educational and still engaging… As soon as she finished, she immediately restarted and played it again!" — Parent review

"I LOVE IT… the lemon power and pickle power are BRILLIANT." — Elim, age 12

Accessibility

Text is high-contrast against the background. The game is not currently compatible with screen readers, and some puzzles require distinguishing colors in the images. There's a read-aloud button that uses your device's text-to-speech, reading the story and the choices aloud — it isn't an audiobook-quality recording, but it works.

Licensing

Purchase covers personal and classroom use — one teacher and their current students. Please don't upload or redistribute the files publicly.
