The game was developed by Off the Wall Productions and published by Capstone Software. This video game is a part of the Bill & Ted franchise and the concept is based on the 1989 film Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure .
The player controls both Bill and Ted as they travel through different time periods, collect artifacts, and talk to locals to help find the historical figures for their oral report in present-day San Dimas. As in the film, if player does not finish the game in a set amount of time, the player fails the history report, thus losing the game.
