One of the most important ones to keep in mind is the LabTab, featuring yellow handles on either side. This handy tablet is your go-to guide for the game. It provides a list of current missions and allows you to revisit the narration log in case you missed anything. To navigate through the interface on the LabTab, use the thumbsticks on your Quest controllers. It also keeps track of all the items you've collected, making it an essential companion. We recommend placing it somewhere easily accessible for a smoother gaming experience. 

Tip: Should you ever find one of the lab tools stuck, you can click "Reset Lab Layout" in the options menu to put all tools back to their original location.

Now, to interact with the world around you, use the white Multitool with the yellow grip. First, use it to scan the Rubber Duck with the arrow above it. Pointing at it and pulling the trigger should create a blue beam. Scanning your surroundings like this will unlock useful information and interesting facts about each respective object.

Put the orange capsule inside the Multitool to capture the Rubber Duck by again pointing and pressing the trigger. The beam will now be orange. 

After you capture something, you can change its size in the OptiSizer on the left. Simply remove the capsule and place it in the circular fixture to the right of the machine.

Push the lever up to the mountain icon and press the yellow button. This will expand the Rubber Duck to mountain scale.

To inspect the change, however, you’ll need to see the world from another perspective. Conveniently, the apparatus to your right, the Scalevator, does exactly that. Like the OptiSizer it has a scale with a lever. Push it to the mountain icon to scale the lab to mountain size. 

Finally, the last tool in your arsenal is the Duck Drone, the controller should appear in front of you. Grab it and use the joystick to fly around. 

Press the trigger to grab something with the built-in claw. After you fly the Duck Drone around the lighthouse, it accidentally drops the giant Rubber Duck and causes … well, a bit of a mess. At this point, the tutorial ends and your adventure begins. You now have all the tools to play the game. 

Psst, you may want to keep an eye out for Hidden Ducks in the following levels.

But you don’t have enough Shrink-o-gen, the blue liquid in the OptiSizer, to achieve this.

Try to scan the things you’re seeing, especially the ants. You can’t collect them right now, but you’ll learn facts about them and also that gathering the ants will make the shrinking easier.

After you’ve scanned the “Minor” and “Major” leafcutter ants, a Volcano appears right in front of you. Scan it and afterward collect it with a capsule in the Multitool. It is obviously the wrong size. Putting the capsule in the OptiSizer to your left will let you expand it again. 

Push the lever to the mountain symbol to achieve this. This way, you’re collecting Shrink-o-gen and getting one step closer to your goal.

Use the same procedure to collect the Bacteriophage, it’s the giant looking creature to your right. 

This time, shrinking it with the Optisizer to the bacteria level will let you proceed with the game.

Next up, you’ll need to inspect the ants behaviour in the insect realm. Use the Scalevator to shrink the lab. 

In the insect realm, there are many things to discover. Take your time and scan as much as you can with the Multitool. Scanning one of the ants and their Pheromones, the orange pink substance below the ants queen, completes the investigation. Resizing the Pheromones to human scale allows you to gather all the ants in one place.

Go back to the human realm and use the Duck Drone to syphon off  the Pheromones. For this, simply navigate the drone using the controller over the pheromone and pull the trigger to suck it up. Now fly around the crossing again, pressing the trigger to release it. The Pheromones will attract the minor ants.

To attract the major ants, you’ll need to go back to the insect realm. Inspect the bottle, the ants around it and the ant falling out of it. The ant in the water droplet releases Alarm Pheromones, which can be used to attract the major ants. Collect the water droplet ant and resize it to human scale. Back in the human realm the droplet breaks, releasing the ant and its pheromones. Now all ants are gathered to be shrunk.  

You might still need more Shrink-o-gen to shrink them all. For this, keep an eye out for objects which aren’t correctly sized. They will appear and disappear in the insect realm. In the insect realm, you’ll find nuclear waste in the puddle. Behind it is a Banana, to the left of it is a Plane, to the right in the back is a Rover and a Telescope.

Back in the human realm, you can use the blue container filled with Shrink-o-gen from the OptiSizer and put it in the Multitool. After you blast the leafcutter ants with it, you successfully complete the mission and are able to move forward to the next level. Travel to the mountain realm.

First, travel back to the human scale to inspect it and the water puddle to its left. In order to find more clues, travel to the bacteria realm. Scan the tardigrade to learn more about their behaviour in their natural habitat. Scanning and collecting the Moss will let you distract it when you scale it to human scale. 

Now back to the human realm.

We first want to bring the tardigrade in its tun state. Scan the surroundings for possibilities. Try to fly the Moss with the Duck Drone over to the ice cream cart, to lure the tardigrade. Sadly, the cart isn’t cold enough. By scanning the barricade debris, you’ll get your next idea. 

Travel to the molecular realm next to learn how we can start a fire. Scan the surrounding molecules to identify them. Using the Duck Drone, you can stir up the Oxygen Molecules to start the chain reaction. It may not work on the first try. Flying directly over the molecules will make it easier. 

Scan and collect the newly created carbon dioxide, to put out the fire later.

Now back to the human realm. This time the plan works out, the tardigrade is in its tun state. But don’t forget the fire. Using the Duck Drone, you can collect the CO2 you resized before. Then put it over the fire to suffocate it.

Now for the last step of shrinking, you’ll need enough Shrink-o-gen. In the human realm, you’ll find a Coronavirus by the left tank, a Caffeine Molecule behind the right tank and a Neutrophil in the tree to the far left. In the bacteria realm, you’ll find a Moon hidden right in front of you above eye level. On the left is a Burger behind one of the tardigrades and a Grain of Rice to the right. Lastly, on the molecular level is a Cooling Tower on the bottom right.

Great, now shrink the tardigrade with the Shrink-o-gen in your Multitool and go back to the mountain realm to do the same to the Rubber Duck.

Go back to the human realm to see and scan the protist. Collecting it won’t work, but you should scan the Puddle to learn more about its natural habitat.

You can directly travel to it by setting the Scalevator to the bacterial realm. Scan the things around you to find something that the protist might eat. With the Duck Drone, you can bring things closer. The Bacteria are the right solution this time. 

They will get the giant protist to spit out its insides. But you can’t simply collect the bacteria, that’s way too dangerous.

 Instead, travel into the molecular realm to inspect the bacteria reaction with the protist. Scan the Proteins in front of you together with the receptors on the membrane. By connecting them, you will start the reaction and the pores will open.

Use the Duck Drone again to move one of the Arrow Shaped Proteins to the fitting receptor to the left. It might take a few tries to collect it successfully. Try positioning the drone exactly above it. 

Scan the Water Molecule first and then collect one of the Proteins to bring it into the human realm. Achieve this with the OptiSizer to your left.

Going back to the human realm, it’s now possible to collect the Protein and bring it closer to the protist with the Duck Drone. Once done, the protist gives back the things it has eaten, and we can finally shrink it.

Once more, enough Shrink-o-gen is required to proceed further. Search all the realms for objects with the wrong size. In the human realm, there is a Neutron Star by the truck and a Primordial Black Hole on top of the right tree. Back in the bacteria realm, you’ll find Jam on the ground to your right and far to the left, there is a floating Amino Acid. Lastly, in the molecular realm is an Asteroid and a Vaccine Syringe on the right receptor and an Atom Bomb to the left on the ground.

Now, use the Shrink-o-gen to shrink the protist. Well done. Go back to the mountain realm for your next and final mission.

Scan the Mushrooms and their Spore Clouds to learn more. You’ll first need to find a way to deal with all the spores.

 You’ll first need to find a way to deal with all the spores. To do this, travel to the insect realm to find spores we’re looking for. Scan them and use the Duck Drone to collect them via the electrostatic collector by pushing the trigger.

Once you’ve collected all the spores, it becomes clear that you need more power to deal with the big spores. 

Start your search for a power source in the bacteria realm. Right in front of you, a Mitochondrion should appear. It provides enough power when scaled up. So, scan it, collect it and then use the OptiSizer to enlarge it to the mountain scale.

Back in the mountain realm, it’s possible to pick up the Mitochondrion with the Duck Drone to collect all Spores by flying around. 

However, this doesn’t get rid of them. Travel to the molecular realm to find a solution. Start by scanning the molecules surrounding you. It’s possible to ionize the oxygen molecules, so they react with their surroundings.

 Use the Duck Drone once again and pull the trigger to use its ionizer wand. The oxygen molecules will destroy the cell walls of the spores. 

In the mountain realm, it’s now possible for you to destroy the collected Spores with the Duck Drone simply by pressing the trigger. With the spores gone, shrinking the fungi is now an easy task.

But you’ll still need enough Shrink-o-gen collected to pull this off. 

The following objects are hidden in the different worlds. Starting in the human realm, there is a Resistor to the right and ATP to the left on the street. Next, in the insect realm, you’ll find a whole City to the left and the ant in front wears an Astronaut Helmet.The bacteria realm has a Skull to the left, a Grain of Sand to the far right, a Space Shuttle on top to the left and a Boot a little to the left. And lastly, in the molecular realm, there is a Duck Coin on the ground to the left, a Pickle laying right in front and a Battery above it together with a Butterfly.

Collecting all these items gives you enough Shrink-o-gen to shrink down the fungi and the Rubber Duck in the mountain realm.
