You are walking along happily on a bushwalk in a tropical rainforest, which is eerily quiet. You glance around and notice a tall and forbidding stone tower, which you estimate is over 100 years old. Just one problem: you do this walk every day, and it wasn't there yesterday! Perhaps you got lost, but that couldn't be as you're extremely familiar with this track. Anyway, getting back to the tower, there is a note lying on a bush beside it. The note is spookily frayed and burnt on the edges, like a pirate's map you might see at the movies. You read out:
Dear friend,It does sound like an exciting adventure is in store, but at the same time you can't help but wonder about the motives of the mysterious owner.
This is my dear tower, called Treacherous Tower. Someone has broken in, and stolen the jewellery which was beside the front door. The police chased them away, but the jewellery is still hidden somewhere inside Treacherous Tower. I'm requesting that you find my jewellery, with only this to help you: My most precious possession, a diamond necklace, has been separated from the rest of the jewellery.
From your friend, the owner of Treacherous Tower.
p.s.: We do not know if the burglars still have the diamond necklace or not.
Do you choose to
enter the tower, or to go
home because you either don't trust the owner, or think
the tower looks too spooky and dangerous.
