Suitcase? Check. Camera? Check. 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 Journel. 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 forget to uncover the missing pieces of the Time Trail map as you learn and discover at each stop on this incredible Time Machine!

Although you will be captivated by the outstanding graphics, animation and attention to detail, there is no chance of getting lost on this trip- the excellent online directions help you navigate all along the way. If you can, take a parent along- they'll discover a few things and enjoy this amazing introduction to history as much as you will. No time to dilly-dally my daring adventurer. You're about to discover that history has never been so much fun!
