Yes, that's it! Thank you!
Do it for science!
I recall, probably in either the late 2000s or early 2010s, a book of puzzles centering around a single object (possibly a gem?). There were five or so different storylines consisting of smaller puzzles such as mazes set in different time periods, but all mixed up chronologically though the book — the metapuzzle was to determine the order in which they occurred. I recall for certain that one of the time periods was a futuristic space-travelling sort, and I think another one was circa the Age of Discovery and another was medieval?
I searched up the Usborne puzzle books, but it doesn't seem to be any of them.
