About the game
ChronoCops is a time-travel adventure packed with wacky humor and lots of tongue in cheek. The game idea is based on point-and-click adventures in video game history. As ChronoCops, agents of the most prestigious research department for time travel, the players travel through time to famous people and places where they have to solve puzzles. To do this, you need to bring the right things together to think outside the box, clear obstacles out of the way, and work together to stop the insane Professor Knix, the former mentor of the ChronoCops. The players explore different timelines, which can be opened up only gradually by successfully solving puzzles. Each timeline has different jump markers that players can travel to, some in the past or future, others in alternate realities. There are clues and objects hidden everywhere that the ChronoCops can collect and combine with the Chrono Decoder to use at a specific location. The group can also get tips on the back of the chrono-decoder if they get stuck. In ChronoCops: Da Vincis Universal-Dilemma ("Da Vinci's Universal Dilemma"), Professor Knix plans to drill into an underground river, but the ChronoCops can't allow that to happen! To stop the mad professor, they first have to recalibrate an LED in their chronograph, and to do that they need Leonardo da Vinci's help. But somehow Professor Knix has left behind chaos in the past — and also some annoying Cronks, the professor's strange helper beings.
