They say the old Tünel driver left behind a tricky control panel: the funicular won't move without two people. Get the car running between Karaköy and Beyoğlu.
Play for freeInside the mechanism
The chapter's mechanism is made of modules. The Master sees and operates them, the Keeper holds the manual for each:
- Levers
- Gauge
- Bell
- Switch
6 minutes and three sparks: three mistakes and the mechanism stalls, but you can replay at once with a new layout.
How to play
- One player creates a room and sends a friend the link or the four-character code.
- One becomes the Master and sees the mechanism. The other becomes the Keeper, holds the manual and can only explain it in words.
- Talk through the built-in voice chat or sit side by side. Roles swap after each chapter.
Historical note
Tünel opened in 1875. It is the second-oldest underground line in the world, after the London Underground. It was conceived by the French engineer Eugène-Henri Gavand, who saw people walking up the hill every day from the port of Karaköy to Beyoğlu. At first the cars were pulled by a steam engine; electricity came in 1971. Tünel still runs today, and the ride takes about a minute and a half.
