âš¡ Short circuit!
Whoa. You gave the electricity a shortcut with nothing to slow it down, so a huge current went round the loop and the bulb burned out. Tap the bulb to put a new one in.
Drag parts onto the grid. Adjacent cells connect automatically — build a loop and watch it light up for real.

Hi, I'm Max! 👋
Hey, I'm Max! Welcome to my Spark Bench. Drag a battery onto the grid, then some wires, then a bulb, and connect them into one unbroken loop. The second you close the loop, the bulb lights up for real — I'm not just telling you it works, you're going to watch it happen. Try putting a second bulb in a row with the first one, then try putting it side by side instead, and see what happens to how bright they are. If you ever connect a battery straight to itself with nothing to slow the current down, you'll get a short circuit — don't worry, nothing bad happens except a bulb pops, and you can just tap it to put a new one in. Go ahead, drag something onto the bench and start building!
