About the Experience
It’s 1816 in Baltimore, and inventor Rembrandt Peale has just received a $5,000 patent from his father and brother to bring revolutionary gas lighting to his museum—and to the entire city. But instead of following their plans, Rembrandt hides the precious patent, determined to forge his own path.

Now, time travelers (that’s you!) must explore Peale’s 1816 museum—searching through fossils, portraits, gas lamps, and curiosities—to recover the missing patent before Baltimore’s hopes for illumination are lost forever.
