Pour it, mix it, cork it. Beaker Lab is a relaxing color-sorting puzzle with a science twist. Pour glowing liquids between glass beakers until every beaker holds a single color, then cork it. MIX NEW COLORS Pour red into yellow and it turns orange. Yellow and blue make green. Red and blue make purple. Mixing is part of the puzzle, so plan your pours. PLAY WITH FRIENDS • Lab Teams: every puzzle you solve counts toward a shared weekly goal • See the top teams every week • Challenge a friend to beat your moves on any level • Invite friends and you both get a free color pack • Game Center leaderboards and achievements REAL-FEELING LIQUID Glossy, see-through liquid sloshes and settles the way real liquid does. Hear the fill, the clink of glass and the pop of the cork. PLAY AT YOUR PACE No timers on regular levels. Pick it up for one level or twenty.
