Your Adventures at CERN: Play the Hero Among Particles and a Particular Dinosaur!
Your Adventures at CERN: Play the Hero Among Particles and a Particular Dinosaur!

A playful CERN adventure with a dinosaur twist

This feels perfect for curious readers who like their science with a big dose of fun and absurdity. You are dropped right into CERN and get to steer the adventure yourself, which makes all the particle physics feel lively instead of intimidating. Readers would probably love how it mixes real scientific wonder with quizzes, games, and a completely unexpected prehistoric threat.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

As soon as you open this book, you become the protagonist. You are catapulted to CERN, one of the world's most famous laboratories—a real scientific wonderland of underground tunnels, massive experiments, and technological marvels. You can choose to play as a researcher, a student, or a tourist, but keep your eyes open for a threatening dinosaur. Is it coming from the nearby Jura Mountains, the same place that gave Jurassic its name? Prepare yourself for a bizarre adventure filled with brain-tickling facts about particles and science wonders. Unfold the story, explore the unsolved mysteries of the universe, and, most importantly, have fun with the games and quizzes! Are you ready to face the huge prehistoric beast and discover the secrets of tiny particles?
