STEM Educational Games

9 STEM games for teaching and learning in general & cross-disciplinary. Each one is built around real learning outcomes: students practise by doing, get immediate feedback, and teachers see progress recorded automatically as they play. Open a game to see its learning outcomes, age range, screenshots and teaching notes, then assign it to your class.

SumSurf
Free
by Edu Games
SumSurf is a retro-synthwave maths game where every wave is a question. Drop in at the setting sun, read the sum glowing on its face, and carve down the water past speedboats, jetskis, shark fins, swimmers and rocks. Then steer into the bubble holding the right answer before your board hits the sand. Wrong bubbles and crashes cost hearts; right answers build a streak multiplier worth up to five times the points. Three levels grow with the player: GROM (ages 4–7), SURFER (8–11) and PRO (12–16), each with stages of ten waves. Clear them all to be crowned CHAMPION.

CellSim
Free
by Edu Games
BUILD. MANAGE. SURVIVE. YOU ARE THE CELL. Don't memorise the cell — make it work. Each mission drops you into a living system with a problem. Observe, hypothesise, intervene, and learn why every structure exists. Failure is an experiment.

Aquarisim
Free
by Edu Games
Aquarisim is an interactive aquarium simulator that lets players create their own underwater world. Start with an empty tank, choose its dimensions, temperature, water pH and substrate, then add colourful fish, plants, rocks and driftwood. Arrange each item, adjust its size and position, and experiment with different layouts. Watch fish swim at different depths and form schools while subtle lighting brings the scene to life. Explore species information and care guidance as you build. Save your aquarium as a downloadable file, restore it later, or enjoy an immersive fullscreen view of your creation. Design, experiment and discover at your pace.

PolyMath
Free
by Edu Games
The clues are equations made of shapes. Every shape stands for one number, and the same shape is always the same number within a puzzle. In the Shape Lab, set what you think each shape is worth. Then work out the target and press SOLVE (Enter). The game will not warn you while you work. It only checks when you press SOLVE — so check your values against every clue yourself first. That's not a limitation; that's the skill. Made a mess? z is undo, y is redo. The shape's look never tells you its value. A hexagon might be 3 in one puzzle and 9 in the next. Only the clues count.

High Orbit
Free
by Edu Games
You wake aboard Aster, a small orbital seed station carrying a garden to a new colony, and the lights are out. As its last engineer, with PIP the station intelligence beside you, you start at the power relay: turn the connector tiles until an unbroken circuit reaches the cabin lights. Each restored system opens the next repair: programming a rover to water the seedlings, tuning gears and coolant flow, sharing twelve energy cells, reconciling airlock interlocks, lighting a coupled solar array, scheduling the launch and plotting a safe route home. Every repair is a hands-on puzzle with feedback and hints.

Probability of Success
Free
by Edu Games
Play a business leader making calls under uncertainty. Each of 46 levels opens with a photographed workplace scene and a brief: a product launch, a hiring window, a supplier audit, a fraud alert. Choose one of two to four approaches, commit, and watch a single simulated round succeed or miss. Then run 1,000 simulations to see whether the result was luck or a sound policy. Six chapters move from sequencing and repeated trials to sampling, collisions, risk reserves and signal testing. Every level ends with a plain-language explanation and an optional mathematical proof. Play the six chapters in any order.

Neon Numbers
Free
by Edu Games
The city of Lumen is going dark, and only maths can switch it back on. NEON // NUMBERS is a cyberpunk platform adventure for Years 4–9 where every obstacle is a maths device. Lay rail track across rooftop gaps, pump canal locks around sea level, mix coolant to power giant fans, program lifts and fire ziplines between skyscrapers. Six districts, one per school year, span 30 stages and six boss battles, from fractions to trigonometry. Wrong answers show what went wrong, MOCHI the drone offers three levels of hints, and fresh numbers every run make each replay a new challenge.

Black Box
Free
by Edu Games
You are entering an experimental facility built to study systems we do not yet understand. Inside each chamber is a phenomenon with hidden rules, unknown causes, and incomplete evidence. Your mission is simple: figure out what is happening. Observe carefully. Change what you can. Measure what follows. Form explanations, test them, and decide what the evidence actually allows you to conclude. You will not be given the answers—and you should not assume that anyone else has them either. The only authority in this laboratory is the evidence.

Startup City
Free
by Edu Games
Startup City is a 3D isometric business game that teaches IT fundamentals by running businesses on Harbour Island. Start at the Corner Market: unpack a till, scanner and printer, plug cables into the right ports, fix a missing printer driver and make the first sale. Then open Byte Repair, Head Office, the Stockroom, Harbour Branch and Cloud Hub, where fourteen campaign levels have you upgrade PCs, set up accounts, build databases and networks, secure a working day, automate a warehouse, troubleshoot a morning breakdown and keep the city trading through a disaster. Everything is hands-on: drag, plug, configure and test.
