Congratulations explorers! The real treasure I was looking for is the peace and freedom that Europe has built. After centuries of devastating wars, the European Union has been guaranteeing lasting peace for over 70 years. Countries that were once enemies now collaborate and support each other. Peace is not just absennce the absence of conflicts: it is freedom of movement, study, expression and the ability to build one's own future. The euro, the European flag and programmes such as Erasmus are concrete tools that protect these values. These precious possessions require constant care. There are still challenges such as inequality, climate change and geopolitical tensions. Young people are the real treasure and the future of Europe. I ask you: how can you contribute to a more peaceful and free Europe? Your European journey has only just begun. Continue it with courage and respect for the diversity that makes Europe special. Coins and banknotes have always been a tool for transmitting important values. DESIGN YOUR BANKNOTE TO CIRCULATE YOUR IDEAS ABOUT WHAT EUROPE STANDS FOR.

Dear young explorers, I have dedicated my life to studying what makes Europe special. During my research, I discovered something extraordinary that concerns all of us Europeans - a treasure that is not made of gold, but of something much more precious. Unfortunately, my discoveries have attracted the attention of those who want to divide Europe. I have been forced to go into hiding, but I have left a series of clues that only true European citizens can interpret. Each solved riddle will bring you closer to the truth. Your journey begins now!
