The English attack In late September 1799, English warships suddenly appear before the port of Lemmer. The English captain James Boorder claims Lemmer and threatens that refusal will result in the village being torn apart! The brave people of Lemmer reject the demand... Reinforcements are needed to resist the English forces, and the Grietman writes a letter with a plea for help to Napoleon to come to Lemmer's aid. The letter must be delivered as quickly as possible to a secret location in the village. A select group is chosen to successfully complete this mission. There is only 2.5 hours to complete the mission! Wander, search, and puzzle your way through the most beautiful locations. Answer questions and solve unique puzzles to save the population of Lemmer from the English attack! You can play this mission at any time (during daylight) on your own smartphone. This mission is suitable for approximately 10 years and older. You'll walk about 5 kilometers in a maximum of 2.5 hours.
