Plot Setup

Doctor When needs a piece of information or hardware to fix the time machine.

Plot Point to Convey

The machine is closer to being fixed.

Short Description

The time machine has detected quantum time vibrations that might help the players locate where Prof. Chronus hid a message.

Detailed Description

The time machine is mostly fixed, but it's not calibrated, so Dr. When and the teams can't lock on to Prof. Chronus - and the viewoscope is broken, too. However, the time machine reports sensing "quantum time vibrations". By investigating these vibrations, the players may uncover a clue to Prof. Chronus' time or place. The puzzle consists of a map and strings which model a set of cities experiencing quantum time vibrations; the answer will point them toward the Art History puzzle.

Earlier concept

An ideal answer might be something like DEYOUNGMUSEUM, or maybe the names of several famous museums around the world (since that's where the altered art pieces will cause the "vibrations"). Alternatively, the answer could say something direct like CATHYSARTBOOK or ARTHISTORYTEXT or something similar.

Puzzle Answer

Points players to look in art history. Should come before Art History puzzle.

Hints

• Have you found the epicenter?

Note that all cities where vibrations detected are well-known hosts to famous art museum. And those museums are within a few hundred yards of the exact lat/longs provided.

Players have heard of "IMOPA" earlier from a brochure, which also lists its website "imopa.info". Hopefully that will help self-confirm the answer as familiar when they find it.
