A unique experience for everyone, that covers 200 years of history. The Jaques family were refugees, fleeing for their lives from religious extremists, arriving in England during the 18th century. One of the children started an apprenticeship that led him to create the first games manufacturing company, and over the next 150 years the Jaques family gave us a wealth of fun. But...come 1941 and the London Blitz, an incendiary bomb, and all was lost. It took MI9 (responsible for helping prisoners of war escape) to get John Jaques back in to business, but why?
