Take the Project Desal challenge and build your own desalination plant! You’ll have to work hard to get our Water Quality Scientist to give your water the all clear!

This game is based on an interactive desalination plant that can be built from a collection of blocks. Users must assemble the blocks – snapping them together - to create an operating desalination plant (as per the Adelaide Desalination Plant). Via another screen called ‘The Lab’ there is contextual information held within each game piece that assists the solving of this puzzle and can be accessed at any time.

If the pieces are assembled correctly, the desalination plant will run smoothly. If pieces are put together in the incorrect order, then one of a variety of failure scenarios will play out before the incorrectly placed blocks fly back to the bin to be placed again. Users are scored on their speed and their ability to make as few incorrect decisions as possible. Users are also awarded additional in-game trophies as they learn more about the process. The ticking clock component promotes a sense of urgency to solve what is essentially a puzzle challenge.
