We've got a mission for you in
Exeter
Intelligence has been received that the notorious mad scientist, Dr Badden-Madd, has struck again. In his unrelenting pursuit of global domination, he has planted a time-shifting device along the Exeter City Wall. Once activated, the device will transport all those within the city walls back to Roman times, with the evil genius ruling as Baddenus Maximus and his blood-thirsty gladiators as his henchmen. The city is counting on YOU to deactivate the device and save the day!
