Series 1

In the first series, two teams of 3 from different schools would battle in various science experiments and the objective was to get in 1st or 2nd on the X-perimental leaderboard. Then the top two at the end of the series would compete to become X-perimental champions.

Series 2

In the second series, there was the studio audience who had to guess to right outcomes of the experiments with an A, B or C option. The audience designs are also put to the test for real life situations e.g. a burglary.
