Inventor's Laboratory

Tesla's Legacy

Tesla's Legacy

It’s the brink of the 19th century, the great era of inventions. Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, rival inventors, are locked in a battle for electrical current supremacy. And it’s a contest Edison will do anything to win. 

Curiously, Tesla’s research journal – with his notes, patent diagrams, and top-secret project details – has gone missing! Can your team unravel the mystery and recover the journal before it’s too late? 

Nothing less than Tesla’s legacy — and the future of Alternating Current — is at stake!
