Invention Points

Description
Invention Points are used the measure the player's score throughout the game. The number of invention points that the player currently has is displayed on the toolbar. They are earned from playing activities, and are one of the requirements for entering the Time Machine in Mystery Mountain.

Initially, 1,000 Invention Points are required to open the time machine, but for each new level of questions, the number of required Points increases by 500. Invention Points can be earned from playing any of the activities at any time. When earned from an activity that doesn't reward the player with a Mission Clue, they take on the appearance of a copper-colored coin with a picture of a brain on it.
