Fizzy's Lunch Lab was a web-exclusive PBS Kids series that lasted from 2009 to 2021. The show was fairly well-received, even garnering several Daytime Emmy nominations.[1][2] Like many of its other successful counterparts, it received a number of web games, most of which used Flash. Despite the positive reception, the show fell into obscurity, and even though the official website switched from Flash to HTML5 in 2015, the website ended up being taken down in 2021 for unknown reasons. While all of the episodes are accessible online via various websites, the show’s official website had an unusual GUI that made it so that nearly all of the web games made for the series were unable to run off-site, making any chance of archiving them near-impossible. As a result of this, most of the Flash games on the website are now lost.
