Periodic Play

Turn the periodic table into play! Match real elements, build real compounds, and learn chemistry with every capture.

Discover the fun side of chemistry with Periodic Play — the card game that turns the periodic table into hands-on play. Match real elements, form real compounds, and watch chemistry come alive with every capture.

EVERY CAPTURE IS A DISCOVERY Complete a compound and watch its elements collide and fuse in a delightful animation — 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen really do crash together to make H2O! Atom balls use the same standard colors chemists use, every molecular ratio is scientifically accurate, and each of the 23 compounds comes with a fun real-life fact: rust is what makes Mars red, cows burp methane, and your brain is burning glucose right now.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY Explore — No timer, no opponent. Take your time, form compounds, and soak up the science at your own pace. Perfect for first-time chemists. 1 Player vs Bot — Race a friendly Bot with three difficulty levels. Capture compounds before the countdown runs out! 2 Players — Face-to-face on one device, each player on their own side of the screen. Same table, same cards — fastest thinker wins.

74 CARDS, REAL CHEMISTRY 51 element cards — Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Sodium, Iron and more 23 compound cards — Water, Table Salt, Carbon Dioxide, Glucose, Sulfuric Acid and more Spot a table where nothing can be made? Call a deadlock for bonus points — but a wrong call will cost you!

LEARN WHILE YOU PLAY A built-in interactive tutorial teaches everything in six bite-size lessons — how to read formulas, why H2 needs two hydrogen cards, when to call a deadlock, and more. No walls of text — just watch and play.

Perfect for: Primary and lower-secondary students meeting the elements for the first time Families who love science night Classrooms, science clubs and homeschoolers
