Mother Hunt

Mother Hunt

Mother Hunt is 3D Role Playing game, where the player assumes the role of a Muon which wakes up in the middle of CERN without any recollection of how it got there. During the game play, it interacts with other particles and famous scientists at CERN to obtain clues about its parents and grand parents and in the process it finally figures out its decay chain.

The game was built over a weekend at the CERN Summer Student Webfest 2013, and it went on to win the first prize at the hackathon, along with a Travel Grant to present this project at Mozilla Fest, 2013, London.

The idea behind the game was to make Particle Physics more accessible to middle school and high school students in a more engaging way.
