## Description
Get ready for an adventure that will test your nerves and your teamwork skills! 'Escape Room: The Game – Family Edition: Time Travel' throws you into three different scenarios, each offering about an hour of pure adrenaline. The goal is for the whole family to enjoy this immersive experience, offering a fun break from traditional board games. In 'The Present' scenario, you must help Professor Jura stop the supervillain Doctor Quarks from taking over Lockholm. You'll need to find her secret lab and figure out how to activate the time machine before he launches his attack. Then, in 'The Past', a sudden 'POOF!' sends you on an unexpected temporal journey. Will you land in the right place to meet Professor Jura and have enough time to save the day? Time crystal energy is limited, so speed is crucial! To cap it all off (with a futuristic flourish), in 'The Future', you find yourself in Doctor Quark's secret base. Escaping might seem easy, but the guards are no pushovers! You have just 60 minutes to break out of prison, disable his giant QuarksBot, and prevent his invasion. With a total playtime that can reach almost 3.5 hours, this game is for those who love challenges and aren't afraid to put their minds together to solve puzzles.
