The Time Tunnel: The Presidents

Moby ID: 156382

Description

The Time Tunnel: The Presidents is an educational game.

The player is thrust through the time tunnel, and only the The Tunnel Master knows where the player will emerge. The player comes face to face with an American president. They can quiz the president on their birthplace, questions them about their childhood, early life, which party they belonged to, who they ran against, who was their vice president, how they helped America, and other important facts.

As the player asks questions, they gain Investigation Points. One point for a clue and two points if asking for a direct hint from the Tunnel Master. The player gains 5 points if they incorrectly identify the famous person, and a total of 15 points if they give up. The goal is to keep the score to a minimum.

There are two levels of difficulty. On the higher levels, the clues are more vague, and players must provide the first and last names of the person in question.
