About X-periMENTAL

How the Game Worked: Series 1

In the first series of X-periMENTAL, two teams of three students competed. Each team came from a different school. They battled it out by doing various science experiments. The main goal was to get a high score on the leaderboard. The top two teams at the end of the series then played against each other. They competed to become the overall champions of the show.

How the Game Worked: Series 2

The second series brought a new twist! This time, a studio audience got to join in the fun. They had to guess the correct results of the science experiments. The audience could choose from options A, B, or C. Also, ideas for experiments suggested by the audience were sometimes tested. These ideas were often put to the test in real-life situations.
