The Parvus Box
Professor Parvus has been working hard to make his new invention reliably shrink people down to microscopic size. Rumour has it that its been very successful! There’s some suggestion that it’s not so good at growing people back to where they started! That’s just rumours though and we’ve never found anyone who can tell us of someone being left small… hmm… wait a minute…. You’d have to be crazy to agree to take part in that mad guy’s testing. I mean, he’s a genius for sure, but he’s absolutely hat stand. I’m surprised there’s anywhere else he can go to find volunteers to participate. What kind of crazy people would choose to become miniscule? Who’d be daft enough to want to hold a blueberry that seems as big as a beach ball? Especially knowing that Professor Parvus is one card short of a full deck. Where will he possibly find anyone so daring…
Oh hello.
You and your team must be here to help the wonderfully talented Professor Parvus double check his excellent, and very safe and reliable, new device. Just to make sure it’s all ready for its very safe, reliable and imminent launch obviously. You’ll experience every day environments from a different perspective. You’ll use your wits and wonderful teamwork to navigate the giant world and report back on your remarkable experience. Oh yes. Perfectly safe. The Professor has shrunk loads of people. You’re the last in a long line. You’re standing on the shoulders of…. oh… well, you know what i mean!
What’s the device called you ask? Well, his name is Professor Parvus. The device is box shaped. He’s a genius known for his incredibly imaginative thinking. So he’s called it… “The Parvus Box.” Of course he has.
