Time machine? Check. You’re set! Set for an
unforgettable trip back in time to eight exciting
historical worlds- all alive with movement and
sound. Hurry up now. This is no time to dilly-dally
my daring adventurer. Using the Time Machine, you
must go back in history to locate missing pieces to
the Time Trail map. Professor Timestein, who has
been trapped in the past, is counting on you to
recover all of the missing pieces to ensure his
rescue. So click on the time machine and get going!
To locate the missing pieces you will travel back to
Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire,
Imperial China, Medieval Europe, the Inca Empire,
the Age of Industry, and a 1920’s City. At each
captivating stop you will discover information about
a period in history as you experience what life was
like during that specific time. Collect souvenirs
such as a picture of yourself in front of an
Industrial Age iron bridge or Roman Arena to paste
in your personal Time Travel Journal. Choose a Latin
nickname for yourself, write your name in
hieroglyphics, create a personal coat of arms, or
use the History Maker to produce your own historical
scenes. While exploring, test your knowledge of
historical facts or take a chance at the fast paced
Time Detective game. But by all means, please don’t

Trail map as you learn and discover at each stop on
this incredible Time Machine!
