Kids To DeepKids

Dear parents — your child won't just play a board game. They'll start correcting you at dinner, questioning teachers at school, and spotting science in places you never thought to look.

Kid pointing at water spiraling down bathtub drain
Amma look! The water is spiraling down the drain, just like the board! Is gravity pulling it into the core?
Family at dinner table discussing feathers and gravity
Hey Dad, look — a falling feather! Did you know it falls slowly because of air resistance, not because of less gravity?
Kid raising hand in classroom correcting teacher about gravity
Gravity is the force that keeps us on the ground.
Miss, isn't gravity actually trying to pull us into the core? It's the ground that saves us from falling in!

4 “Facts” About Gravity That Are Wrong. #Unlearn

You wouldn't believe how much of what we accept as facts are simply false — across topics. We did the research for you, and we hope to fix some holes. These are just 4 examples. About gravity.

No gravity floating absurdity
"If there were no gravity, we would all float away into space."
Absurd
tap to flip
The Truth
Without gravity, there IS no space. No stars form. No elements are forged. No planets coalesce. No water, no air, no you. Gravity didn't just put you here — gravity made the atoms you're made of. Float away? There'd be nothing to float, nowhere to float to, and no one to do the floating.

Kid floating in ISS
"Astronauts float in the ISS because of zero gravity."
False
tap to flip
The Truth
The ISS experiences 90% of Earth's gravity. Ninety percent. Astronauts aren't weightless — they're falling. Constantly. Plummeting at 28,000 km/h and perpetually missing the ground. That's not zero gravity. That's gravity doing exactly what it does.

Ground breaking away revealing core
"Which force keeps us on the ground?"
If you said gravity...
Wrong
tap to flip
The Truth
Gravity isn't keeping you safe. It's trying to drag you into the molten core of the Earth. Right now. The only thing saving you is the ground pushing back — that's the Normal Force. You're not being held on the surface. You're being rescued from being consumed.

Everything pulls everything — spacetime curvature
"Gravity pulls things down."
Incomplete
tap to flip
The Truth
You are gravitationally pulling the Earth toward you right now. Your coffee mug is pulling your phone. The Moon pulls the oceans. Every object with mass pulls every other object, always, everywhere, all at once. "Down" is just the direction of the nearest big thing trying to eat you.

EscapeGravity covers all of this and more — deeply researched, first principles, the full picture.

The Board Game

Mission: Reach The International Space Station

Start on Earth's Surface and race toward the ISS.
The board is Gravity's agent — pulling you down into the core to consume you. Fight back using Force Cards, earned by completing Physical Challenges.

Gravity Is Experienced, Not Just Read In Books

Over 35 physical challenges let players feel the forces at work — balance, speed, air resistance, gravity itself. Every challenge is a real-world experiment hiding in plain sight.

Forces Against Gravity

Nothing exists alone in nature — true for gravity too. Every force interacts with others: some reinforce, some resist, and together they shape how everything moves.

The game reflects this. There are 13 forces across 7 categories — players earn these force cards by doing physical challenges, then use them to escape the gravity wells on the board.

Normal Force
Air Resistance
Airlift
Buoyancy
Weight
Physical Work
Sideways Velocity
Escape Velocity
Magnetic Force
Elastic Energy
Knowledge
Center of Gravity

Spirals In The Universe

The board is a spiral — because gravity, when met with motion and energy loss, manifests as spirals everywhere in the universe.

Each Tile Carries Science

54 tiles — each with a scientifically accurate quip explaining exactly why that gravity well exists and how the forces at that altitude shape the game.

Every Turn Is A Lesson

Do → Wonder → Earn → Understand. Every turn weaves a physical challenge, a thinking cue, and a force card into one moment — so the science isn’t just read, it’s lived and connected.

Miss The Bucket — Challenge Card Physical Challenge Thinking Cue Force Card Earned
Sideways Velocity — Force Card (content side)

The car rolls off the table and curves — it doesn’t fall straight down. That curved path is sideways velocity in action. The force card explains exactly the concept the challenge just demonstrated.

One Leg Balance — Challenge Card Physical Challenge Thinking Cue Force Card Earned
Center Of Gravity — Force Card (content side)

Spreading your arms shifts your center of gravity back over your base — that’s why balancing gets easier. The force card explains the very science the players just felt in their body.

Learning Comes Full Circle

The science you learn through challenges and force cards isn't just for collecting — you use it to survive gravity wells on the board.

Tile 10 — Earth's Surface
Tile 10 — Earth’s Surface

You play 2 Speed Cards — Escape Velocity & Sideways Velocity — to reach the ISS.

These are the 2 velocities needed in reality to reach & stay in orbit. All the fuel is burnt to achieve these two speeds.

Sideways Velocity Escape Velocity
Tile 15 — Rough Ocean Waves
Tile 15 — Rough Ocean Waves

Rough ocean waves drag you down. You play the Water — Buoyancy card to stay afloat and avoid dropping to tile 0.

The buoyancy force that pushes objects up in water — the same science you explored in the physical challenge — keeps you in the game.

Buoyancy — Water (content side)
Tile 16 — Losing Balance At A Cliff
Tile 16 — Cliff Edge

You land on a cliff edge. You play the Balance — Center Of Gravity card to stay or fall down to a lower tile.

The same concept you discovered in the One Leg Balance challenge now saves your game.

Quick Quiz

How well do you know gravity? 12 questions — no pressure, just fun.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age group is EscapeGravity designed for?
Ages 7 and up. Younger kids enjoy the physical challenges and dice rolling, while older kids and teens engage with the science and strategy. Parents find it genuinely interesting too — it's a true family game.
How many players can play?
2 to 6 players. Works great for siblings, family game nights, or playdates. The physical challenges are even more fun with a bigger group.
How long does a game take?
About 30 minutes on average — short enough to fit before dinner, long enough to feel like an adventure.
Do I need to know physics to play with my kids?
Not at all. The science is built into the gameplay — every tile explains the concept in simple language. You'll learn alongside your kids. That's part of the fun.
Will my child actually learn, or is it just a game?
Both. The 35+ physical challenges make kids feel forces like gravity, air resistance, and friction through their own body. The science tiles explain why. Kids remember what they experience — not what they memorize.
Is it a one-time thing or can they play it again?
Endlessly replayable. Different challenge cards, different force cards, different dice rolls — every game plays out differently. This isn't a kit you do once and shelve.
How much space do we need to play?
A dining table for the board, and a bit of room nearby for the physical challenges — balancing, tossing, jumping. Works perfectly in a living room or even a small apartment.
What's in the box?
A spiral game board with 54 science tiles, 13 force cards across 7 categories, physical challenge cards, player tokens, a dice, and a rule booklet. Everything hand-illustrated.
Is showing interest free?
Yes — completely free, no payment needed. You're just registering your interest. We'll WhatsApp you with updates on pricing, shipping, and launch details.
Are the materials safe for kids?
Absolutely. All components are made with child-safe, non-toxic materials. The board and cards are designed to withstand enthusiastic play.
