“What should we do to get the first hint?“ Tom Lee tries to pronounce the most bothering question aloud.

 Soon the daylight becomes very bright because of the sun shining straight into their eyes. The two game partners raise their heads and look up in the sky. They can see 3 numbers and one strange word composed of clouds – “156 Athens“.

“What is that?“, asks TEST5687 in astonishment.

“Hmm...Maybe that‘s the first hint!“, Tom Lee exclaims happily.

“But what does it mean?“, says TEST 5687 hesitatingly and a few seconds later adds, “I think, I have heard that word from some stranger. He was talking about a vacation that he had gone on with his family and he gave me a weird colourful paper explaining that it was a map which shows any place of the world. That is, any place of this planet“.

TEST5687 pulls out his pockets and finds the paper he has been talking about. They start examining the map in order to find the word that was mentioned in the hint. The gamers spend hours and hours searching for the necessary word.  Sadly, they can‘t find the place and become so tired that suddenly fall asleep on the cold, rain-soaked ground where they met each other.
