The mission: Your story in Liverpool
Eureka! You have invented a time machine! The 6th of December 1965, the Beatles’ final performance in Liverpool, calls!
With the push of a button, you excitedly jump inside. You successfully arrive but to your horror, realize your time machine has disappeared! “As have the Beatles…”, says a melodic voice. Looking down, you see a mysterious talking guitar has appeared in your hands, strangely bereft of three of its six strings.
It knows where your time machine is but will only guide you to it if you help find its owner, John Lennon, and its missing strings. Without finding him, not only will you be stuck in the past, but also a world without the Beatles!
Looks like it’s time to Run For Your Life to find this Nowhere Man!

Liverpool music history
Merseybeat before the fictional time machine
Liverpool’s clubs helped create the Merseybeat sound that reached international audiences in the 1960s. The Beatles first performed at the Cavern Club in February 1961, while many local and visiting musicians built the wider scene around Mathew Street and other city venues. This quest uses that real musical heritage as the setting for an invented jump to December 1965. The vanished time machine is fiction; the performance culture and Liverpool locations behind the story are part of the city’s music history. Playable languages: English.
