We’ve heard rumors of a chosen one. A special birb who has the power to illuminate the vast darkness of the universe, uncovering the great mysteries of the world.

We are all born with this power. But only a few are able to master it. We use the same power here at kurzgesagt to find the latest science and come up with the most exciting videos.

This special power is called: curiosity. And the special birb… could be you! Our Guide to Curiosity is now available on our shop. It’s an adventure that will help you to think like a kurzgesagt birb and unlock your curiosity potential.

Join us across 160 thrilling, interactive pages designed to awaken your curiosity, changing your perspective on the world forever. But be prepared! We’ll send you on epic quests to solve riddles and unveil hidden truths about the world.

But don’t worry, the birbs will be with you every step of the way. And you can also bring a friend! The 18 curiosity quests were developed right here at the kurzgesagt headquarters.

After hundreds and hundreds of hours of research and lots of trial and error, we created the ultimate curiosity adventure. It was the most fun we ever had making a product – and we are so excited to finally share this experience with you.

So head over to the kurzgesagt shop and find out if you are the chosen birb. Every kurzgesagt product you buy directly funds another moment we get to spend working on our videos – and you get a special piece of kurzgesagt in return.

Thank you so much for being a part of our story and making this channel possible.
