About the Game

Step into the shoes of Thomas Edison’s industrious assistants in this cooperative, historically themed board game. Set in 1879, players must work together to help the famed inventor complete the incandescent light and accompanying electrical system before the arrival of the new year.

In The Wizard of Menlo Park, your team races against time to gather resources, conduct experiments, and overcome unexpected setbacks—all while navigating the pressures of innovation. Strategy, cooperation, and clever planning are essential as each assistant contributes their talents to one of the most important breakthroughs in modern history.

Perfect for families, classrooms, and history buffs, the game offers a fun and engaging way to explore the spirit of invention that defined the Gilded Age. Will you be able to light the world before the clock runs out?
