Welcome to "Take the Money and Run," an exhilarating time-travel game set in the year 231,000 A.D. Your Time Machine has brought you to the Land of Keynesium, a highly advanced society fascinated by the economic complexities of the ancient 20th Century. In this immersive adventure, you must unravel the mysteries of profit and loss, income, expenses, dividends, bear markets, bull markets, taxes, and inflation.

The challenge begins with a generous starting fund of $500,000. Your mission: transform this sum into a million dollars to secure your journey back to your own time. However, the ingenious Keynesians won't make it easy for you. They've devised a trillion maze electronic labyrinth, each path representing a different economic scenario from the past.

You'll encounter robot inhabitants representing various economic factors. Use your wit and strategic thinking to navigate through the maze, making wise financial decisions and outmaneuvering the robotic representations of the 20th-century economy.
