## What it is
A collaboratively maintained curated list of educational science-based games that are genuinely fun to play while teaching real scientific phenomena across physics, chemistry, biology, math, and more. It is a reference document (CC0 licensed) rather than software itself.

## Use cases
- find educational games that teach science
- games for learning physics or chemistry
- recommend fun science games for kids or students
- curated list of playable science-based games
- games that teach real scientific concepts
- educational game recommendations for self-learners

## When to choose
- you want a curated, community-vetted list of science games that are actually fun
- you need game recommendations spanning many scientific disciplines
- you want free and paid options with platform info

## When to avoid
- you need classroom-only educational software or lesson plans
- you want a game engine or tool to build games rather than play them
- you need gamified learning apps rather than actual games

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: game, documentation
- domain: education, gaming-tools, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform, browser, windows
- tags: curated-list, educational-games, science-games, collaborative-list, science, macos, linux, ios
