Space and Solar System Adventure Pack - Orbit Breach

Orbit Breach

Space and Solar System Adventure Pack

Something in space is no longer moving as it should.

Inside a locked-down orbital command station, explorers must travel through the solar system to restore critical systems and complete their mission. Planetary paths are shifting, solar energy readings are unstable, and Earth’s day–night cycle is at risk. Ari Raider has detected a disturbance inside the Orbital Control Array and needs explorers to investigate.

In Orbit Breach, students navigate observation decks and control rooms while learning how the Sun, planets, moons, and stars work together as part of the solar system. Using real science knowledge, explorers restore order and work toward unlocking the Mystery Mine, where the Professor hid a specimen.

This adventure transforms space science into a thrilling, story-driven journey beyond Earth.
