The escape room activities are completely immersive experiences while students are working with science content. Each escape room provides a video challenge, eight challenging puzzles, and an experience students won't soon forget. About This ContentMad Experiments: Escape Room is a multiplayer narrative escape game made for advanced players. Alone or with teammates, you have 60 minutes to explore, solve, and escape!Show your su.
These 10 science activities put some ingenious twists on classic experiments like baking soda and vinegar volcanoes, color-changing flowers, and cornstarch goop, and give you even more ideas for you and your kids to tackle and explore together. Kids will get excited about the wonderful world around them as they experiment, make a mess, and get their hands dirty with science!
Elephant toothpaste
A big chemical reaction? Check. A glorious, foamy mess? Check. Glitter? Of course. Asia Citro of Fun at Home With Kids gives you and your kids the know-how to make “elephant toothpaste,” which is similar to a baking soda volcano, but with a bigger impact and a result that they can even play with. You can find a number of elephant toothpaste walkthroughs out there, but none as helpful as Asia’s. Follow her detailed tips to get the best exothermic reaction for your elephant toothpaste buck.
Lego excavations
Got a wannabe-archaeologist-slash-Lego-fanatic in the family? She will love to unearth her favorite minifig in this fun activity. Dayna of Lemon Lime Adventures posed a unique question to her kids, “How would you carefully remove a fossil encased in ice?” Dayna shares the how-to for giving kids the tools they need to safely rescue their Legos from a frozen fate. (Hammers not included.)

Ice volcano
Baking soda-and-vinegar volcanoes are a quick, easy way to introduce kids as young as toddlers to chemical reactions. Some baking soda volcanoes are even a little too quick, and won’t make much of a mark on a young scientist’s memory. At Reading Confetti, you’ll find the steps for making a one-of-a-kind ice volcano that takes the kids outside for colorful science fun that they’re sure to remember.
Electric dough
This science experiment is for elementary age kids and will likely require a trip to Radio Shack, but the setup is well worth it. Jennifer Cooper at Classic Play shows you how to turn homemade dough into a science experiment as kids use batteries and diodes to learn about electricity and circuits. If you don’t consider yourself an electrical engineering expert, don’t worry! Thanks to Jennifer’s excellent video and walkthrough, this activity is simple enough for even the most science challenged.
The physics of Oobleck
Like the baking soda volcano and elephant toothpaste experiments, it’s easy to find recipes for cornstarch slime. Jenae at I Can Teach My Child takes this activity one step further by including the actual science behind the slime, or “oobleck,” along with the perfect recipe for slimy fun. Toddlers and preschoolers will just love to play, while older kids can learn about atoms and non-Newtonian fluids.
Rainbow jar
Toddlers and preschoolers are endlessly enamored of rainbows, and Jen Rice at Playdough to Plato tells you how teach the fundamentals of density by making a colorful concoction. As a bonus, Jen even includes a how-to for giving a lesson on molecules and density that small children can understand. Before you and your kids carefully pour the magical liquids into the jar, be sure to read all of Jen’s steps first to make the perfect rainbow.
Rain in a jar
This science activity is practically a must-do for Seattle kids. If your children have ever wondered how rain falls, you can show them indoors with little mess thanks to Allison Sonnier at Learn Play Imagine. The simple demonstration includes the weather science facts behind it, so you can tell your mini meteorologists all about condensation and precipitation.

Coloring wild carrot
Will Queen Anne's lace (also called wild carrot) change color if its water is dyed? An experiment often done with white carnations, Melissa at Fireflies and Mud Pies used wild carrot instead (so a wildflower hunt is now part of the fun). Twenty-four hours later, and your kids can see firsthand how plants and flowers pull water up through the stem. Kids might enjoy experimenting with various colors to test the vibrancy of each or even a different type of dye (such as Kool-Aid).
Hot and cold air
On the Mom to 2 Posh Divas blog, you’ll find a science activity that will blow kids’ minds. With your help and just a balloon and plastic bottle, they can explore the effects of heated and cooled air molecules and air pressure. While the experiment only takes a few minutes to run, you’ll likely find yourself performing the scientific magic trick over and over for an enthusiastic audience.

Nice to see more escape room styled puzzle games, especially those where the developer supports Linux directly. Overall though, there's just not a whole lot of good 3D first-person experiences around like this on any platform. There's plenty of 2D point & click puzzle games and hidden object games that have you do a similar thing but it's just not the same.
Hopefully then we will see more like Mad Experiments: Escape Room in future. So far, it seems most users have enjoyed this one with around 64 user reviews giving it a 'Very Positive' rating overall.
You can buy it on Humble Store or Steam.
