Exponents Escape Adventure - The Tower of Powers

Introducing the new Exponents Escape Adventure for grades 7-9. It is a fantasy adventure in Print (grey scale included) and digital version with solutions and explanations. The Digital version provides instant feedback.

The story

Deep within a storm-lashed mountain stands the tower of Dr. Helena Vortex — a brilliant scientist whose obsession with power has pushed science beyond its limits. She has created The Exponential Serum, a formula capable of amplifying abilities at an exponential rate — enough to rewrite the laws of science… and rule reality itself.

But something has gone terribly wrong. The reactor powering her formula is unstable and dangerous. Solve her exponent-based security systems, stabilize the reactor, stop the exponential cascade…
and escape alive.
