‘Time’ is alarmed about the pace of change and has locked all the heritage crafts away for safe keeping. But in doing so these crafts have been forgotten and unused and are in danger of being lost forever.
The Master Crafter is in a race against Time to try and save these special skills and techniques and unlock them before they're forgotten.
Now’s the hour in which you chose your trail route. Will you unlock these crafts or keep them hidden?
Join forces with the Master Crafter to unlock these heritage crafts from the constraints of Time. Help them to solve riddles and puzzles to revive the different crafts this Christmas. Or become one of Time’s ‘Minute Minions’ and help keep these crafts locked away for Christmas and beyond!
