Set up you own sub-particle laboratory! Experiment with the most fundamental particles! Make sure you are one step ahead the other scientists! Publish your research to secure your findings! Perishing is not an option if you aim to write your name alongside the best scientists in history!
Publish or Perish is a deduction game for young scientists in which you want to find out the secret properties of each particle, collect the data, and accumulate your knowledge. But be sure to publish it before any of the other competitors do, or you might just miss the chance of winning.
Thanks to the app (and your mobile device) all secrets stay secret, and handling crucial information is both easy and intuitive. Not to mention the holograms in your hands! The augmented reality enhanced app allows you to see and enjoy experiments to the fullest!
