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!
