Stormlings: Storm Watch Headquarters - Weather and Climate Adventure Pack

Storm Watch Lockdown

Stormlings • Weather and Climate Gemlings Adventure Pack

A dangerous atmospheric failure is unfolding over Tornado Alley, USA.

Alarms are flashing inside Storm Watch Headquarters as weather systems begin to spiral out of control across the region. Air pressure is shifting, winds are colliding, storms are intensifying, and long term climate controls are slipping toward failure. Ari Raider has traced the disturbance to a powerful specimen hidden inside a sealed Mystery Mine. The Professor interfered with critical weather systems, triggering cascading instability throughout the atmospheric network.

In Storm Watch Lockdown, students journey alongside the Stormlings on a high stakes escape room style mission through atmospheric control chambers, storm system floors, and extreme weather vaults. From understanding weather versus climate to investigating wind, precipitation, lightning, storms, and climate change, explorers must use real Earth science knowledge to stabilize the facility, locate the hidden Mystery Mine, and recover the missing specimen.

This adventure transforms weather and climate science into a story driven mission focused on observation, systems thinking, and environmental awareness.
