Europa Prime

Welcome to Europa

Congratulations!  You've made the 350 million-mile journey from Earth!

Are you ready to expand your mind, to learn things no human has learned before, to travel further and deeper than any human before you?

​

Then you are ready for Europa Prime!

​

Let's drill into the details...

Learn all about the Europa Clipper Mission that inspired this game.

Europa Clipper

Clipper

The Ice Crust

The surface of Europa is an ice shell 15km deep.  The average temperature will be a bone chilling -260°F.  But luckily, you'll be safe inside the base station, at least until you descend through the ice!

The full experience is coming soon.  Solve the mysteries of the surface, to figure out a way to go below the ice in our puzzle solving, escape room style game for all.

Meet the Crust

The surface of Europa is an ice shell 15km deep.  The average temperature will be a bone chilling -260°F.  But luckily, you'll be safe inside the base station, where you will descend about 10km through the ice to the ocean depths to chat with the Minos, the first intelligent alien lifeform every found.

At approximately 15 miles below the surface, you'll find the observatory, connected to the surface by a supersonic elevator shaft.

​

This is the maximum depth you'll physically be able to virtually travel... but fret not, you can go deeper via our three dimensional visualization room.

Ocean Observatory

Version 2.0 is coming soon, and in this version we go below the ice in a puzzle solving, escape room style game for all.

Europa is customizable

This edutainment game allows users to tweak the settings to their liking and was designed as part of an NSF-funded project (#2005447) researching and developing a STEM-based VR game for a broad audience, including neurodivergent players.

The Water Deep

Once you've penetrated the ice, the ocean beneath is believed to contain twice the water of Earth's oceans, and likely descends for over 100 miles (150km).

At approximately 150 miles below the surface, you'll hit the bottom of the largest water ocean in our solar system.

Owing to the lower gravity of Europa, the deep sea pressure is likely to be only a bit more than found on Earth's deepest ocean trenches.
