About
Station manager Hans Palmqvist of the Telegraph Agency's radio station at Grimeton is looking for volunteers for a mission that could prove crucial to Sweden's future, and the team must rise to the challenge. The game takes two to five players for about an hour, consists of problem-solving tasks that need no prior knowledge, and can be played in Swedish or English, chosen on site. Players from nine are welcome, with an adult required for ages 9 to 15, and each game starts at the Visitor Center, so a visit pairs naturally with tours of the historic longwave station.
