About the game
You are a scientist who has to make jelly monsters experiments by finding the three different parts of the monster in the six different laboratories where the parts are... it seems easy, but all other scientists are doing the same! And of course, as usually at science, an experiment is never recognized until another scientist does so. Place your experiment and the parts at the correct lab and wait till other scientist go over and give it to you recognizing your labour. Every experiment is different and the score you may win differs because there are some parts easier to find than others. The scientist with the most points is the winner.
