Luckily, the time portals remain open once she has used them. But, its up to you to track her down and return the items she has stolen so that history can go on as it should. Players must solve 19 mysteries, starting in Ancient Egypt and leading slowly up to the present day. Along the way, they will meet such historical personages as Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt, Thomas Edison, William Shakespeare, even Elizabeth I, Queen of England. They will also learn a bit about each time, place and culture they visit. As players arrive in each new era, they are accompanied by a Good Guide. This person can help the players on their explorations and provides an explanation of where they are and what is happening at that point in time. They also carry another section of the chronopedia, a guide to times and places in history.
