Winkle poses a historical question of Polly and Polly gives a surreally humorous answer. GameplayĮach of the game's twenty-five missions (one for each robot that must be rescued) begin with the user selecting one of Polly's questions from the TransQuizzer. The goal of the game is to help Botley, the robot assigned to keep Polly under control, save the world by retrieving each of the twenty-five robots and bringing them back to the present. To do this, she sends twenty-five reprogrammed robots back in time and, with her father conveniently away on a business trip, she takes over Mystery Mountain, the literal "mountain mansion" where she and her father live.
Set in a retro-futuristic universe, the game concerns Polly Spark, the bratty daughter of an apparently very wealthy inventor, and her attempt to alter history so that her inane answers to a history quiz she failed will be correct.
In the 2003, it was included as the "Fundamentals" disc of JumpStart Advanced 3rd Grade. This is the only version of this game created and, unusually for Knowledge Adventure, was still being sold over fifteen years after its initial release in 1996. As the title suggests, the game is intended to teach a third grade curriculum.
