Timescape: Jane Austen’s Plight

The talented Miss Jane Austen’s reputation has been tarnished, and the ripples across the timeline are threatening to erase her works from history. Of course, some may see no harm in this, but it is a truth universally acknowledged that it would be of no use to live in a world where Mr. Darcy never existed!

Travel back in time to Regency-era Bath, England, where social standing means everything and scandal can be ruinous. You and your fellow agents must work together to unravel a mystery of intrigue and deceit and unmask the scoundrel who slanders Jane Austen’s name. Use your courage, wit, powers of persuasion, and tremendous sensibilities to solve the puzzles and, thereby, the crime. If you fail, history will be rewritten. But succeed, and the true timeline will be restored!

Made for friends, families, puzzle solvers, and Escape Room fanatics, Timescape: Jane Austen’s Plight is suitable for ages 12+, 1 or more players, and has an average 60-minute gameplay.

At Ridley’s Games, we like to make Good Clean Fun that’s as kind to the planet as it can be, so this set is printed using FSC paper and soy inks. Plus, unlike most escape puzzle games, every title in Ridley’s Timescape series is entirely reusable and re-giftable as the content is not damaged during play . . . as long as you use a pencil!
