*Particle Clicker*  is a compulsively playable game about researching and discovering the wonders of particle physics. Don’t know a thing about particle physics? Well, you’ve picked the perfect game to try.

Inspired by [*Cookie Clicker’s*](http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/?ref=killscreen.com) mechanic, Particle Clicker turns mouse clicks into research, as each click increases research, which then increases reputation, which increases money and so on until you have a distinguished team of researchers determined to discover the wonders of CP symmetry and t leptons.

If, while playing, you realize you have no clue what a t lepton or beauty quark is, fear not! Embedded into each particle is a brief history lesson about its discovery and importance. So you’re learning about particles while you’re researching particles! All things, much like the game, come full circle.
