Current Mission:
For generations, whispers of a hidden treasure have echoed through the trees of Rock Creek National Park. At the heart of this legend lies an old house, shrouded in mystery. Locals speak of its former residents—lottery winners who vanished after venturing into the forest, said to have buried their fortune deep within the woods, never to return.
Now, the keys to that very house are in your hands. Your mission? Uncover the truth behind their disappearance and locate the legendary treasure—all before your housewarming party begins. But beware: this treasure is said to hold more than just unimaginable wealth… it may be your only way out.
