Backstory:
The library’s new book scanner isn’t just high-tech… it’s time-travel tech! A group of students accidentally triggered it and now the entire library is stuck flipping between historical eras. To escape and bring the library back to the present, students must collect Time Tokens from different time periods by finding era-themed clues hidden across the library.
It should go without saying: do not share the answers with anyone. Certainly do not share the final code word, the ticket to your sweet treat, which will be revealed to you when you submit your form.
