All kinds of games
When my brother, Sol, came home from South Korea, my family hosted Hee Jung, a student from Seoul.
I thought that she would be excited to play basketball with me.
But everything changed when she saw me playing Drill, a computer game where you mine minerals.
From then on, Hee Jung and I played all kinds of games, from massive online games to classic board games to cheesy smartphone puzzles.
On her last day, Hee Jung pulled me aside while Dad loaded her suitcases into the car.
“Trey, I made a game for you,” she said.
*“I hid a special prize, and I’ll give you clues to find it. I’ll email you the first clue when I get back to Seoul,”
Your first clue is 38.907233, -77.010531, so the boy entered his email and found a GPS
address, and after following certain clues, he discovered that he should head for Gettysburg.
He wanted to go to Gettysburg, but he remembered a memory with Hee Jung and asked his mother to help him find the website where she posted her photos and there, he found a new clue.
They reached the site of the track, at first they did not see anything, but then they noticed a purple wrap that was tied to a tree branch, inside it was a business card from their favorite store and note. They went to the store where Rick was waiting for them, he handed them a box wrapped in purple paper, which contained a board, some chips and finally a note from Hee Jung that said that they could play that same game online.
