Power Surge at the Dam: Energy Adventure Kit

⚡ Power Surge at the Dam

Buzzlings • Energy Adventure Kit
(Hoover Dam, Nevada–Arizona)

🚨 ADVENTURER DISPATCH

A massive power system is destabilizing.

Inside one of the largest energy structures on Earth, output levels are fluctuating. Turbines are misaligned. Energy flows are out of balance. Multiple power sources are competing instead of working together.

Standard control teams cannot isolate the problem in time.

You have been selected.

You are one of the only explorers trained to understand how energy is generated, transferred, and transformed. Every system is connected. Every choice affects the entire grid.

There is no backup power.
There is no margin for error.

To stop the surge, you must understand energy itself.

Your mission begins now.

🌍 A REAL PLACE THAT POWERS THE WORLD

This adventure is inspired by Hoover Dam on the Nevada–Arizona border, a landmark of engineering that converts moving water into electrical energy for millions of people. Wind, solar, thermal, and electrical systems all connect here through the science of energy. The location is real. The structure is iconic. The science is real.
