The gameplay features a moderate pace, balancing thoughtful clue analysis with time-sensitive decisions.

Distinctive for its educational approach, the game integrates learning seamlessly into its puzzle-solving format. Instead of straightforward action, it emphasizes investigation and critical thinking, making history an interactive experience. This blend of education and entertainment sets it apart from typical puzzle games of its era.
