Science in the Dark

A lightweight party game about scientific observation, creative theories, and impossible science. The scientists have created a machine that can make anything, but they don't know what it will make each time they turn it on. For safety, the object is created in a dark lab, sealed off from all direct forms of observation until it can be identified.

Players take the role of researchers, crafting theories about the summoned object based on peculiar observations. As more data is revealed, players will hone their guesses and aim to create theories that fit as much data as possible.

Suited for groups up to 8, Science in the Dark is designed for quick rounds of scientific creativity. Each round only takes about 15 minutes, and with 108 unique Observation cards, you'll have a new challenge every time.

With a focus on creative thinking, Science in the Dark is fun to play at a party with friends, as a classroom activity, or as an icebreaker at social events. You never quite know what wild theories other players will come up with, and comparing your choices at the end is a great way to learn about how your friends think.

Science in the Dark is a self-published game from a Complicated Reality.
