Data Breach at CERN Large Hadron Collider - Thinklings: Scientific Inquiry & General Science Adventure Pack

Data Breach at CERN – Large Hadron Collider

Thinklings: Scientific Inquiry & General Science Adventure Pack

Deep beneath the surface, something has gone wrong.

Inside the massive underground tunnels of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, data streams are fracturing, experiments are stalling, and critical observations are being lost. Systems designed to reveal the secrets of matter are no longer aligned, and the flow of scientific discovery is breaking down. Ari Raider has detected a critical breach in the investigation process and needs explorers to restore order before the experiment collapses.

In Data Breach at CERN – Large Hadron Collider, students are dropped into a high-stakes, research-driven mission beneath one of the most advanced scientific facilities on Earth. By learning how scientists ask questions, make observations, test ideas, analyze results, and revise explanations, explorers must repair the investigation process, reconnect evidence, and restore the system that turns curiosity into discovery.

This adventure blends scientific inquiry with story, exploration, and optional hands-on discovery.
