This is a fun game, I was the second person playing it, and after 3 hours I have 148 elements so far. It is interesting because you can combine elements and items, some realistic, some not. Hint: Get penguin by combining "Wild Animal" plus "Ice"

I think it is so amazing how they come up with all of those combinations to make all of those objects. I like how some of them have nothing to do with science and just have to do with the word itself.

Such as Pipe + Water = Water Pipe,
and Rainbow X 2 = Double rainbow.

I thought that this was a very fun game, but after a while, it gels very boring. I think it was clever how they made it so that sometimes it had nothing to do with science, but that kind of defeats the purpose. I personally like it better with the play on words and I think that they should come up with more elements.

Luca said...

Please don't cheat, it defeats the whole purpose of the science.

Esther said...

This is a fun game! I don't really know what much more to say. Also, a note: we use the cheats because we are way too stuck. (I have 165 elements!)

Sinclaire said...

This game is so much fun! I love the scientific aspect. (milk + time = cheese)

Emory said...

This is a very interesting game. It feels like you are a real scientist. Some of the combinations are really silly. For example, fire + plant = tobacco. The game is very addicting. Who knows maybe we will actually be doing science this way.

Cypress said...

I think this game is really cool, but I agree with Emory, it is really addicting. Almost all of it has to do with science, but some of it is really obvious

It's a really good game, but some of the things don't make any sense with physics (sky + cheese = moon)

Sergio said...

The game seemed nice though it is slightly discriminatory. For example: glass+human=nerd. It only showed the bad things when you combine objects. For example: human+gun=corpse. This is disturbing considering all the other great things that could come from the combination: 2nd amendment, protection, monarchy and feudalism.

I thought that this game was really fun! It wasn't that scientific, though. I think that if they had more things about the elements and less word play, then it would have been more like actual alchemy. This is a fun game to pass the time, though. Well, Cooper, the thing with the sky and cheese comes from the old legend that the moon is made of cheese, so in that way it does have a reference to history, and some alchemy. With the sky and cheese, it has no connection to science, though. Overall, this game was fun, and it IS very addicting!

This game is very addicting and I enjoyed how you can create all different types of materials, I only played it a bit in Anthropology, but I found it really fun and a good way to learn what different items make. This is a fun way to encourage kids to learn science, and I hope to play it more!

Gwen said...

I love this game! I think it's really interesting how all the elements come together. Some of the combos are really creative. I don't understand how some of them are related to actual elements, because pizza is obviously not a real element. Also, Some of the combos are really funny, like moon=cheese+sky.

Emma said...

I think that this game is fun, but it is not very scientific. There are some scientific parts, but others aren't scientific at all. I think that this game was made more for fun than learning science. But I think that it is interesting that you can make so many different things by starting with four main elements: water, fire, earth, and air.

Ben said...

I don't understand why this relates to science. I mean, if you take tobacco and wood in real life, it doesn't turn into a pipe.

Gillian said...

I loved this game for the first 150 elements, and then it got too boring. I really don't understand how it relates to science like sky + cheese = moon? Really. I don't understand why this is on the blog but it was really fun.

Alex M. said...

This is by far the coolest science game EVER

Caroline said...

This is fun, it is amazing you can make so many things out of just earth fire water! things are so complicated, you could make a chart of how things are broken up until you get down to the last elements!

Nick said...

This game is pretty fun. But, it's a rip-off of Doodle God. If any of you have played it, you can see my point. Still, it is a good spin-off. It's a perfect blend of science and fun. p.s. "human" + "fire" = "fireman"

Sofia said...

This game is so fun!!!!!!! You can make different things out of the earth, fire, water, and air!
