But be careful, agents are on their way to steal your discoveries and knowledge. Take advantage of the world's largest Zeppelin airships, airplanes and ocean liners to get anywhere quickly. Who will be the first to solve the big riddle and thus become world famous or keep his occult secret to himself in order to become one of the most powerful people in the world?
