Kitty
Q

Kitty Q (2021) A Quantum Adventure is an escape-room where you use outside-the-box thinking to solve puzzles in an odd world with quantum physics themes. It's unusual not only because the puzzles are approachable and visual appealing but because they each reference observations, experiments and phenomena from this strange field of science.

Play involves exploring the rooms to collect items and interact with objects to solve puzzles. This might be changing the temperature of a fridge to melt ice and freeze flies. The challenge isn't easy but aimed to be approachable for young teens.

As you progress, you discover over 20 scientific tongue-in-cheek facts about quantum physics that will amaze and amuse you: the concept of chance, donuts as a symbol of quantum physics, cold chips for revolutionary high-tech and quantum computers.

These are designed to be fun and peculiar in a way that invites curiosity. You can find out more in the game by accessing background knowledge about any of the puzzles in the Kittypedia articles once a puzzle has been solved.

The result is an entertaining and unusual approach to engaging children and teens with mathematics, computer science and quantum physics. It steers clear of gamification and instead offers a deep and engaging world that rewards investigation and lateral thinking.
