timemesh.jpg TIMEMESH is an online, multi-language, multi-player, collaborative and social adventure game platform for sharing and acquiring knowledge of the history of European regions. Three game scenarios are availbale to play: the Maritime Discoveries, the Industrial Revolution and the Second World War.
In each scenario, the player notices that something is wrong with their current time period; E.g. Newspapers are in a different language. This is the trigger for a specific scenario action. The player then learns of a past event or sequence of events in history that somehow happened differently and changed history. He has now to go back and correct History.
