Time Machine
One of the most popular picks from Kiev questrooms leads you in the almost detective story. Imagine you have a quite eccentric friend, who’s head is always up in cloud nine and full of weird ideas. He hasn’t contacted you over months and you’ve lost any hopes whatsoever to see him again. But a sudden phone call turns your world upside down - he spilled the beans, telling you million details of his latest invention, which, he ensures, is bound to change the world. When you were about to ask of that mysterious invention, he cracked and confessed it was a Time Machine — and a fully working one. Shocked, you want to find out more, but that’s where the connection breaks, and the phone call is ended abruptly. After futile attempts to contact the weird genius, you decide to visit his apartment, full of the scientific frenzy. But, alas, the door behind has shut - and you are trapped here alone. If not for the Time Machine standing in the corner. You only have one hour to save your friend. Will you? This quest is designed for 2-4 people.
