Scientists are pretty serious. Would they play games? In a way, perhaps their experiments are just a sort of game. Hmmm....

The Alchemist isn't here, but you see some written materials. What manner of surface the writing occupies, you can't be sure, but as you touch your finger to one of something titled "Web Adventures" marvelous things happen. **Web Adventures** (Rice University) Cool Science Careers -  http://webadventures.rice.edu/ed/Teacher-Resources/_games/Cool-Science-Careers/
