Puzzles range from easy to more challenging and are ideal for primary students — but the competition is open to both primary and high school!
It’s flexible, classroom-friendly, and a fun way to get students thinking in the lead-up to National Science Week.
Puzzle One
The Quantum Leap Challenge
Can You Crack the Jumping Pattern?
Have you ever wondered what hidden patterns shape the universe? From the way galaxies spiral to the structure of snowflakes, mathematics and quantum science govern the world around us. These patterns help nature organise itself in ways we don’t always notice—from the Earth realm to the quantum realm and even into deep space!
Scientists studying quantum mechanics have discovered a mysterious jumping pattern hidden in the fabric of reality. This sequence appears in everything from the movement of tiny particles to the way energy levels change inside atoms! However, one number is missing, and we need your help to complete the pattern.

Puzzle Two
Hidden Number Stereogram
The Earth Realm:
Is Quantum Science Hiding in Everyday Life?
Explore the hidden patterns, math, and quantum codes that shape the world around us! From the spirals of sunflowers to the way light waves interact, science is woven into the fabric of nature. Some of these patterns are easy to see, while others require a new way of looking at things – just like today’s challenge!
In this puzzle, we’re using a special type of image called a stereogram to reveal a hidden number. Stereograms create 3D images from patterns that you can only see when you adjust your focus.

Puzzle Four
Quantum Vision: See the Unseen!
Decoding the Universe:
Can You Uncover the Hidden Number of Triangles?
In the world of quantum science, not everything is as it seems. Particles can appear, disappear, and even overlap in strange ways…
This triangle is no different. Scientists believe hidden patterns are woven deep inside its structure — but only sharp eyes and curious minds can detect them.
