Hunting the Higgs by Bad Boy of Science
Hunting the Higgs is a science show created by the Science communicator and comedian Sam Gregson. He wanted to create a gamified 1hr version of a particle physics masterclass, mixing guided and comedic lectures with interactive activities through all the steps of the scientific method, guiding the audience until they discover the Higgs for themselves.
