The plot
Many years ago, the famous inventor John Atanasoff visited his family’s homeland for the sole purpose of hiding a special machine. He decided to leave a legacy for the generations to come, but only for those who could read between the lines and could pass all his tests.
John Atanasoff had some pretty good reason to hide his legendary machine and protect it with riddles and ciphers – it can only be trusted in good hands.
Follow the clues, solve the mystery, pass through the scientist’s challenges with wit, creativity and collaboration to find and rebuild the missing part of his machine and reveal his secret massage. Remember – you can only do this if you work together as a team.
