Sandbanks

Rumours have been swirling for years about a lost treasure hidden somewhere in the serene waters of Sandbanks. Local tycoon and avid treasure hunter, Ivor Fortune, has been on the hunt for this elusive fortune, but has yet to uncover its whereabouts. However, a recent discovery has given him hope - a message in a bottle containing a worn map and a set of clues. Now, he's enlisting the help of the Exploration Society to find the treasure once and for all. Will YOU join the search and help uncover the golden hoard?
