Adam the Chemist
Real chemistry puzzle for kids
$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
20 levels, 44 elements, 200+ compounds, and nine lessons built on the NGSS core ideas PS1.A and PS1.B and Florida NGSSS grade 8. No ads. No in-app purchases.
Adam The Chemist is an educational chemistry puzzle game where you match elements, trigger real chemical reactions, and discover compounds used in everyday life, from table salt to rocket fuel.
How to Play
Tap adjacent element tiles on the board to select them, then hit React! Combine the same elements to score points, or mix different elements to form real compounds like H₂O, NaCl, NH₃ and hundreds more. Every reaction comes with a real scientific explanation.
Each level has two goals: reach the target score, and complete the Make goal, a set of compounds to build using a particular element or family. Tap the goal any time and Adam will tell you exactly which tiles to look for.
What's Inside
Lab Board: an 8×8 grid of elements where every move triggers real chemistry
My Lab: unlock power-ups by forming compounds and track every reaction you've discovered
Elements: a full interactive periodic table covering all 118 elements
Quiz: 86 questions that unlock as you progress
Element of the Day: learn one new element every time you open the app
Learn Real Science
Every compound, reaction, and element in the game is based on real chemistry. Descriptions are written to be accurate, engaging, and accessible for curious minds of all ages.
Progressive Gameplay
