REA Reaction
At Time Mission, each new portal took us to a different destination with a new challenge to solve together as a team. This over-world tied together a collection of artistic, unusual rooms filled with creative contraptions or other physical or mental playgrounds.
At Time Mission, each time we opened up a portal we could find... anything. Pinball pirate ship! Castle climbing wall! Button mirror room! The games ranged from more physical, where we needed to balance, climb, or swing, to more mental where we deciphered, matched patterns, or answered trivia. In most portals we found a combination of unlike items, where a game we understood was overlayed into a strange place and time in an artistic way. It was always intriguing to walk through a portal.
The games weren't all created equally. Some of the builds were more elaborated than others. Some rooms were beautifully polished, but in others execution was messy or wear showed badly. Some of the tech worked flawlessly and other times it felt janky. Some of the games were lots of fun and others were just... meh. And at least one portal simply didn't work.
With each challenge arcade we've visited, we've come to appreciate the variety in execution of this concept. Time Mission was most similar to Boda Borg, where the rooms have themes and different aesthetic designs, than the more templated Activate. For those looking for surprise and delight in the challenge arcade style, accept your mission. It's time.

Story
Time Mission was a time travel adventure. We journeyed through different portals, to different times. In each portal, there was a mission to accomplish. The missions balanced intelligence, strength, coordination, and speed in different proportions.
