[edit] Series 1

In series 1 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.

[edit] Series 2

In Series 2 there was the studio audience who had to guess to right outcomes of the experiments with an ABC option. The audience designs are also put to the test for real life situations e.g. a burglary.
