Gran Sasso Videogame is set underground in the world’s largest astroparticle physics laboratories: the National Laboratories of Gran Sasso in the National Institute of Nuclear Physics. Located in Abruzzo, between L’Aquila and Teramo, the laboratories lie beneath the1400m of the Gran Sasso range, tallest of the continental Apennines. The laboratories host over 10 experiments which focus principally on neutron physics, dark material and nuclear astrophysics.

An educational game browser intended to aid the teaching of physics in schools, Gran Sasso Videogame targets kids of 14-19 and teachers. The project, financed by Ministry of Instruction, University and Research (MIUR), was produced through a collaboration between the National Laboratories of Gran Sasso (National Institute of Nuclear Physics), a scientific communications agency (formicablu srl) and a production company (IV productions), with the support of INDIRE (National Institute for Documentation Innovation Educational Research). The central figure in this 2D platform is the green alien Zot who is unwittingly catapulted into the laboratories in Gran Sasso by a space-time glitch.
