About the experience
We’re going on an incredible journey
Your challenge
Pupils meet characters lost in time, Revna – the Viking of the Sea, Cheng – a Trainee Scribe from Ancient China, Felix – future Centurion from Roman Britain, and Hori – a tomb painter from Ancient Egypt. Pupils choose a character, then take on a series of challenges to help send them back home. How? By gathering enough energy from museum objects to open a time portal!

The Timeless Treasures
On their Time Odyssey, pupils must collect the four Timeless Treasures to equip their characters for their journey home.

Once they've gathered enough energy, they can open a time portal to get back home!
