tiptoi

Die turbulente Zeitreise

Doktor Tempora is looking for test pilots for his time machine model; they need to travel to the past and find correlations to program the machine. The files for the game must be downloaded to the tiptoi pen. The pen is already active in the preparation phase of the game, memorizes the color choice of players and the difficulty level for the game that players chose together.

In the first phase you travel through time; the time machine is not yet programmed correctly and it is not sure in which time period you will arrive. The pen acts as Doktor Tempora and gives hints, players try to identify the epoch. Epoch boards for identified eras are laid out in a semi-circle over the control panel; at the end of Phase One, epochs are lined up from ancient to recent.

In Phase Two you explore the epochs; again based on hints from the tiptoi pen, which in this phase exclusively relate to persons and items depicted on the board for the epoch. You have to touch the persons and items, identified from the hints, with the pen. In Phase Three the time machine is programmed, for this you now combine information from Phase Two on demand by the pen; for instance, you need to touch two rulers that you came across. For correctly solved tasks you score chips; if you manage to collect most of them you win.

The pen guides you through the game, chooses epochs, gives hints and notes points for correctly touched items and persons.

Of course, Turbulente Zeitreise does not give a complete rendering of history, but intends to evoke curiosity on the topic, on connections and events and is meant to demonstrate the development of mankind over millennia.
