Title: Agent Higgs: Chapter 2

Viewed: 3,886 views
Description: Agent Higgs is on the run, again. The problem is -- physicists now *know* he exists! Our Agent is going to have to be sneakier than ever. In Chapter 2, Higgs must use Neutrinos to solve increasingly challenging puzzles. There are three different types of these particles, but they've been known to spontaneously change, so beware! Can you outwit the scientists *again* and hide Agent Higgs?
Instructions: Move the particles over Agent Higgs to hide him. Particles slide until they hit an obstacle.
Controls: use the mouse (click and swipe) -or- use the keyboard (arrows/wasd) e = switch particle;

Educator's Review: Help Agent Higgs hide from the prying eyes of physicists - he's not ready to be discovered! Slide particle tiles around the board to cover him up, complete a level when he is hidden from sight. However, each particle tile has its own rules about how it moves, based on the kind of particle that it is. Learn about the different particles in the Standard Model of Physics with this sliding puzzle game that also challenges your visual-spatial skills. Players have to figure out how to move the tiles so that at least one (players can control several different tiles on the board, and use them to change the movement of other tiles) lands on top of the square where Agent Higgs is hiding. This game provides challenges that will really make you think about how to achieve your goal. Agent Higgs: Chapter 2 focuses on Neutrinos, including all three types of Neutrinos and investigating their strange behaviors. You might also like to play "Agent Higgs: Chapter 1", which deals with Electrons and Neutrinos, as well as antimatter.
Please Note: While the first few levels are relatively easy, the difficulty ramps up fairly quickly and will challenge those not used to visual puzzles like this one. Also, players have to remember the different rules that apply to each particle, and may want to write them down as they play.
