The library is alive with characters from the past! These legendary Illinois personalities have emerged from different eras of history, appearing as "living exhibits" drawn together by a mysterious force. A hidden mystery threatens to erase their entire family histories and legacies from existence—unless you can help them.

Combining elements of immersive theatre, escape rooms, and high-stakes quests, In Time turns you into a participant in history. As you explore the library, you will solve logic puzzles, find hidden clues, and complete tasks that assess your skills. The stories and characters appear in real time as they go about their day. Spend time with each figure to learn their unique stories and decide which paths to follow.

You may meet Wild Bill Hickok, Ulysses S. Grant, Ernest Hemingway, Amelia Earhart, or others!
