Physics & Chemistry Trivia
A trivia pack on the two foundational sciences — physics (motion, forces, energy, electricity and magnetism, the modern quantum and relativistic eras) and chemistry (the periodic table, the elements, reactions, famous compounds and the great experimental chemists).

Classical physics: Newton's laws, gravity, Galileo and the experiments that founded modern mechanics, optics and the speed of light, electricity and magnetism (Faraday, Maxwell), thermodynamics and the famous laws. Modern physics: Einstein's relativity (special and general), quantum mechanics (Planck, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Feynman), particle physics and the Standard Model, the famous experiments (Michelson-Morley, the double-slit, the LHC and the Higgs).
Famous physicists across the eras — Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Curie, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Feynman, Hawking — and the prizes that mark their work.
Chemistry
The periodic table: the elements by symbol, atomic number and the famous element families (alkali metals, halogens, noble gases, lanthanides). Mendeleev and the construction of the table. Famous compounds (water, ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, sodium chloride, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid) and what they're used for.
Reactions and types: acid-base, redox, combustion, polymerisation. Famous chemists (Lavoisier, Mendeleev, Marie Curie, Linus Pauling, Dorothy Hodgkin) and the major discoveries (oxygen, radium, the structure of DNA via X-ray crystallography).
Frequently asked questions
Do I need calculus?
No — the questions are about facts and famous laws/elements, not calculations. Multiple choice does the rest.
Is it heavier on physics or chemistry?
Roughly even, with a slight lean to chemistry (more memorable element trivia).
Are recent discoveries in?
The major ones (Higgs, gravitational waves, CRISPR's chemistry side, the newest elements) appear.
How many players?
Up to six per room.
