Containment Breach: States and Properties of Matter Adventure Kit

🧪 Containment Breach

Matterlings • States and Properties of Matter Adventure Kit
(CERN, Geneva, Switzerland)

🚨 ADVENTURER DISPATCH

A containment system has failed.

Inside one of the most advanced research facilities on Earth, matter states are destabilizing. Temperature controls are fluctuating. Pressure levels are spiking. Particles are shifting between states faster than systems can respond.

Standard safety teams cannot restore balance.

You have been selected.

You are one of the only explorers trained to understand how matter behaves, how energy drives change, and how particles move under extreme conditions. Every state matters. Every shift has consequences.

There is no reset button.
There is no external override.

To stop the breach, you must understand matter itself.

Your mission begins now.

🌍 A REAL PLACE WHERE MATTER IS TESTED

This adventure is inspired by CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, where scientists study the fundamental building blocks of matter. Here, particles, energy, and extreme conditions reveal how solids, liquids, gases, and plasma behave and transform. The location is real. The research is cutting edge. The science is real.

🔍 REAL MYSTERY DIG

✔ Real Mystery Dig
Each adventure pack includes a hands on excavation dig. Adventurers carefully excavate the dig to uncover a real specimen hidden inside. Once discovered, the specimen is identified, examined, and logged as part of the global mission to discover, identify, and collect every missing dig.

Every dig is different.
Collect them all.

📦 WHAT’S INSIDE THE ADVENTURE PACK

✔ 9 Matterlings Adventure Cards
Nine containment zones where states of matter, particle behavior, and energy changes drive the mission forward.

✔ 9 Matterlings Characters
Matterlings are state controllers, particle trackers, and energy analysts. Each one represents a core matter concept.

✔ Real Mystery Dig Excavation
A physical dig used during the adventure to uncover and examine a real specimen.

✔ Escape Style Systems Gameplay
Stabilize states, manage energy, solve challenges, and restore containment.

✔ Built for Home or Classroom
Perfect for at home adventurers, STEM enrichment, homeschool science, and classroom exploration.
