As Oliver, to win the bet you must travel the world in 80 Days or less to collect proof that your wacky uncle has created 4 major inventions. The 4 inventions are scattered in 4 of the most exotic locations around the world including the deserts of Egypt, the jungles and mountains of India, the ancient domains of Japan, and through the mostly untamed lands of America's west. Fail to get the proof of your uncle's inventions from these locations and his reputation and both of your finances will be ruined!
On this trip you will gain not just knowledge about the world, you will gain even more knowledge about your uncle's fantastic talents, adventurous life, and closely guarded secrets. You may also learn a lot about yourself, the truth about your family, and the true nature of this incredible bet.
As you travel the world you will...
Help a strange German Archeologist.
Rescue a distressed - not overly bright actress from Bollywood.
Win an elephant race.
Pilot the biggest airship ever.
Turn a Scottish tartan into the coolest street wear worldwide.
Fool a Shogun's samurai.
Avoid the traps of Inspector Fix's nasty son.
Disguise, bribe, steal...You know, the usual.
