Exographer, a videogame based on particle physics
Exographer is an exploration game based on particle physics. In Exographer, players use gluonic boots or a photon sphere to overcome obstacles while discovering, one by one, all the elementary particles of the Standard Model. The levels are inspired by real laboratories (giant colliders and detectors, neutrino underground facilities, cosmic ray observatories…). A lost civilization…

Cosmic Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) Project
The project tests a theory suggesting dark matter may consist of supermassive particles from the early Universe. Their decay should ultimately result in a large so called super-preshowers of photons, widely distributed across both space (an area larger than the Earth) and time (reaching different parts of the Earth at different times). CREDO make use…

HEPscape! The High Energy Physics escape room
Abstract Hepscape is a High Energy Physics themed escape room imagined in 2021 by a team from INFN. The virtual tour is a 360-degree experience with projections, sounds, lights and many unexpected surprises. During the game, visitors are tasked with riddle and each right answer opens a lock with the instructions for the next puzzle.…
