About Particle Lab
Particle Lab is a free idle clicker game that runs in your browser on phone and desktop, with no download or sign-up. Tap the detector to collect data, then spend it researching real particle-physics discoveries. Research builds your reputation, and reputation brings in grant money. Spend it to hire staff and buy upgrades so the lab keeps producing data on its own. It is a relaxed game that rewards checking back, and you pick up some genuine science along the way.

Tips
- Tap hard at the start. Your first research and hires come from manual clicks, so speed matters early.
- Hire staff as soon as you can. Automatic data is what carries the lab once the numbers get large.
- Research raises your reputation, and reputation sets the size of your grants. Keep researching to keep the money flowing.
