A new computer game has been developed to promote physics research. The main aim is a gentle introduction to Atomki labs through multimedia and reinforce the message: science is fun and useful, and it is everywhere in daily life. Using the game we also established a link between the history of physics and modern science.
The target audience is high school students interested in computer games, no physics background is necessary. The game application is role playing game to solve a mystery using physics. Real video footage helps the audience to get impression of a real physics laboratory.
