"I love how technology is allowing science to make its way into the mainstream like never before. The Physics Quiz is a great example of new and interesting ways that you can interact with high level science in your pocket at any time." - Eli Hibit, Pwn Your Homework Podcast

The Physics Quiz - Particles is an edutainment game with over 700 questions in different levels of difficulty and categories in and around the field of particle physics. It is an app for everyone, youth and adults, with an interest in science and physics.

Aside from a quiz, the app also has a "Brief Overview of Particle Physics" – an introduction that quickly dives into the heart of matter; from the human cell to superstrings, explaining key features and components of the so-called Standard Model, the fundamental forces, antimatter and the Higgs boson along the way.

The quiz does not only contain questions about particle physics but also from the related fields of nuclear and atomic physics, chemistry, astronomy, cosmology, engineering and computing, as well as questions about famous scientists. The quiz has three difficulty levels, ranging from easy to hard. The easy level is aimed at people with a general interest in science, corresponding to a high school level and upwards. The medium level is for people with a more thorough knowledge of science, while the hard level should suit those that have a deeper scientific knowledge especially in particle physics. A quiz round ends with a review where the correct answers are given.

The app has Game Center integration with the best times per difficulty level. Answer ten questions correctly and your best time will be uploaded to the Game Center which can be reviewed from the quiz menu screen.

Playing the game several times will increase your knowledge about physics and hopefully help you gain more interest in this exciting field!
