Professor Swen's Lab

Find the secret lab and shut down the machine before South Lake Tahoe pays the price.

Professor Swen Hemerson has devastating plans, and the grown-ups are out of leads. It's up to your kids to locate his hidden laboratory and power down his evil machine. A companion app lets the adult play along instead of moderating, and the whole kit prints fine in black and white. It even works over video call with far-away friends.

Good family time My family (with 2 boys: 9yo + 13yo) just completed 'Professor Swen's Lab' as part of a holiday family activity. It was a lot of fun, and I appreciated the app, which allowed everyone to participate. Driving the mad mobile around the map for the first challenge was fun for my 9yo. I would say it's more age appropriate for 8-11yo kids.
