Dundee
Young Roger 'Dodgy' Dodger was on a mission to find his father's long-lost boyhood comic collection. But while rummaging through the attic, he stumbled upon something even more exciting - an old, tatty treasure map with scribbled notes attached. Legend has it that this map holds the key to a hidden treasure trove of Russian and Spanish gold doubloons, brought to Dundee in secret on the RRS Discovery. The Intrepid Explorers Society has enlisted YOU, the most daring and expert adventurers, to solve the clues and uncover this elusive treasure. Are you ready for the challenge?
