Free Physics Games Online

Physics becomes playable here. These free physics games turn equations into mechanics: fire photons through the double slit and bend interference fringes in Double Slit Duel, split light through prisms in Prism Path and curve charged particle beams in Lorentz Loop.

Switch silicon on and off in Gate Charge, sculpt attractor valleys in Hopfield Basin and train a small neural network on real data in Neuron Nursery. All games run free in the browser, ready for physics lessons, homework and curious players.

Hopfield Basin

Hopfield Basin

Sculpt Hebbian synaptic weights to carve energy landscapes, roll noisy input vectors downhill into attractor valleys and shake off spurious traps with thermal annealing.

Play Game
CRISPR Snipe

CRISPR Snipe

A physics-based slingshot game about CRISPR gene editing and chromatin navigation.

Play Game
Phage Hunter

Phage Hunter

A fast-paced physics and docking game about bacteriophages and antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

Play Game
Lorentz Loop

Lorentz Loop

A particle physics and electromagnetism simulation game. Dial magnetic field intensity and polarity to steer electrons and ions into mass spectrometry collectors.

Play Game
Prism Path

Prism Path

Rotate optical breadboard elements, split white laser light through dispersion prisms and route spectral wavelengths into photo-detectors in this optics arcade puzzle game.

Play Game
Signal Hunter

Signal Hunter

Pilot a space telescope across a survey field, confirm transiting exoplanets and habitable zone worlds, catch auroral radio bursts and oxygen biosignatures while dodging stellar flares and eclipsing binary false positives in this astronomy arcade game.

Play Game
Neuron Nursery

Neuron Nursery

Raise a baby neural network: feed clean training data, swat noisy and biased samples, tune the learning-rate dial and stop the Overfit Gremlin before it memorizes everything.

Play Game
Gate Charge

Gate Charge

Play the gate electrode of a MOSFET: hold gate voltage in the sweet spot, dope silicon lanes with electrons and holes, form a p-n junction and swat phonons before thermal runaway.

Play Game
Double Slit Duel

Double Slit Duel

Fire electron waves through a double slit, scramble which-path detector drones, erase measurement collapses and guard entangled pairs to reveal the quantum interference pattern.

Play Game
Infrared Traffic

Infrared Traffic

Direct Earth's photon traffic: harvest sunlight, place CO2, water vapor, methane and CFC molecules to absorb the right infrared bands and hold the planet in the Goldilocks zone in this greenhouse effect game.

Play Game
Tidal Proof

Tidal Proof

Drag the Moon around a water-covered Earth and serve harbor contracts in this two-bulge tide simulator: steer lunar and solar bulges, ride storm surges and chase perigee for king tides.

Play Game
Spin Echo

Spin Echo

Run a real MRI pulse sequence: fire 90 and 180 degree RF pulses, refocus dephasing proton spins into an echo and encode k-space with gradient coils to diagnose tumor, fat, fluid and edema from their T1 and T2 signatures.

Play Game
Tilt Shift

Tilt Shift

Set axial tilt and orbital eccentricity, launch the year and keep two crop hemispheres inside the habitable band: a seasons simulator that proves lean, not distance, rules the weather.

Play Game
Stellar Forge

Stellar Forge

Slide and fuse atomic nuclei up the periodic table from hydrogen to the iron limit, then ride the supernova spray of gold and uranium.

Play Game
Newton Arc

Newton Arc

Pull back a hilltop cannon and launch cannonballs along real parabolas, ring bells by reading angle, speed, wind and gravity, then topple crates, smash glass, swing pendulums and detonate kegs as the curriculum climbs from projectile motion through energy into momentum.

Play Game
Volt Vault

Volt Vault

Rotate wire tiles and route each surge to power bulbs and motors. Match the current to each load's rating with Ohm's law, split power through parallel branches and protect the grid from shorts with fuses.

Play Game
Machine Mash

Machine Mash

Fill absurd contracts by building Rube Goldberg contraptions from ramps, levers, pulleys, gears, springs and an Archimedes screw. Ring every bell as energy flows from height to motion to sound, and feel mechanical advantage trade force for distance.
