The Glassmaker's Secret - Will YOU Uncover the Lost Loot?

Back in the medieval times, the quaint town of Alcester was home to a skilled glassmaker who had a secret passion for more than just creating beautiful glass pieces. Rumour has it he also dabbled in glass-lined coffins and chests, catering to the wealthy and their extravagant tastes. But with no heirs to inherit his fortune, the glassmaker is said to have buried his golden hoard somewhere in the town, waiting for a lucky adventurer to find it.

Recently, during an excavation in Alcester, a map and a set of clues were discovered, perfectly preserved in glass. The Exploration Society believes that this map will lead to the glassmaker's lost treasure, and we need YOU - our TOP Adventurers - to follow the clues and pinpoint the exact spot where we should dig. Are you ready for the challenge?
