📖 THE STORY

You belong to a distinguished team of researchers known as the "Time Chasers". Your research has led to the breakthrough of time travel, but an unexpected issue has occurred! A malfunction has transported you into a wormhole. You must navigate through different time periods within an hour to collect the keystones necessary for your escape from the wormhole and journey back to your original timeline.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

There is a futuristic decoration in the room that looks really cool. It would be even cooler if we could actually interact with it.
As this room is mostly equipped with traditional physical keys and locks (Gen-1), we were pleasantly surprised to find that the method of time travel we used was surprisingly "advanced". After solving the initial puzzle, it became evident what approach we needed to take for the remainder of the game.
All the sites featured puzzles from the corresponding historical periods. However, the ultimate objective of all solutions was to enable travelers to move to a different destination.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

Some props and clues need to be updated as there were a few puzzle clues that were quite hard to see.
We recommend incorporating music and lighting to elevate the time travel experience (update from owner 10/3/2024: We do have music playing faintly throughout the room, with a curated playlist focused on the theme of "time").
Implementing a different clue system that allows for faster feedback from the game master would be beneficial.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Although the decor of the room may have been simple, the creator's ingenuity truly shone through in transforming the space into an immersive time travel adventure. Despite limited resources, the creator skillfully utilized available materials to craft an engaging narrative that captivated players.

The journey begins in the main room, setting the stage for an exciting exploration through time. The progression through the three historical periods builds a sense of anticipation and discovery, culminating in a satisfying conclusion where players must apply their newfound knowledge to successfully navigate back to the present day. Are you ready? Time travelers?
