Hastings
Join us on an exciting adventure through the charming town of Hastings as you search for the legendary golden pawn. Local fisherman, Ivor Bignet, made an incredible discovery in his latest catch - a golden pawn, not a prawn! According to legend, this pawn is part of a golden chess set awarded to the victor of the Hastings International Chess Congress. But the set vanished after local champion, Chick Maite, controversially lost the final and disappeared with his memoirs. Will YOU be the one to finally solve the mystery and find the golden pawn?
