Heureka-Klett is a German software engineering company which has made several personal computer games of the sort called "edutainment". They are is point-and-click puzzle-adventure games for either the PC or the Mac. These were distributed by Tivola International to be localized for many markets.

  • Physikus, localized to Physicus for the English-speaking market, attempts to teach physics by exploring an island whose locks are opened by working machines that illustrate different principles of physics.
  • Chemikus, localized to Chemicus for the English-speaking market, attempts to teach chemistry by exploring a land whose rooms are linked by an underground railway whose controls are in the form of the periodic table of the elements. The player must set up and perform chemical reactions from substances and objects in his inventory. The plot is in the form of a trying to rescue a friend who has been captured by unseen enemies.
  • Bioskopia, localized to Bioscopia for the English-speaking market, attempts to teach biology in a similar manner by having the player try to save a woman explorer who has been attacked by disease-carrying robots once used for experiments before the abandoned facility of Bioscopia was shut down. The player must make and supply penicillin to cure her while unlocking hidden areas and exploring the facility.

Before turning to edutainment only, Heureka-Klett published also a school version of The Interactive Geometry Software Cinderella.
