Race to Earth

Suitable for 6 -12 year olds

Two rival ethno groups live on the Moon, the Gaslunians and the Karlunians. The Queen Gasoline’s has the obsessional desire to understand why the Earth, which prevails in the sky of her country, never falls on the Moon. She orders Gasogene to engineer a machine to bring a Gaslunian to Earth! The Emperor Karfurax swears he will do his utmost to make sure that the first selenite to reach Earth is a Karlunian. He entrusts Karboxyle, the scientist, with this mission upon which the honour of the whole Karlunian nation depends. After a fierce competition, they will be able to deduce the basis of universal gravitation and the elementary principles of travel in space.

Mysteries of Your Brain

Suitable for ages 8+

Mysteries of Your Brain takes you on an immersive, animated adventure into the human brain, exploring how the brain works and what makes human brains so special.

Your tour guides on this journey are a curious girl and her crow companion—together you’ll zoom along the paths of neurons, fly through brains and experience illusions on a grand scale. You’ll learn how your brain makes you you and that, ultimately, we each have the power to change our brains.
