Season 2, Episode 5: Solving the mysteries of Stonehenge [c.3000 BCE]
Keon’s always wanted to know who built Stonehenge and why. So Ryan used PastMaster to find out (of course).
In what is possibly the trippiest episode of PastMaster yet, our AI GameMaster concocts a Neolithic adventure for the ages.
It all goes pear-shaped when Ryan encounters a mysterious man called Elron (alarm bells already ringing).
It turns out the secrets of Stonehenge are much bigger than anybody ever realised.
Alliances will be forged, secrets will be revealed, and crystal toilets will be pooped in...
Is the AI’s Stonehenge story convincing?
Stonehenge: far out
Keon’s mind is blown by the mysteries of Stonehenge
