Madame de Maintenon (AKA “IDA lady”) is locked in a castle and needs help to escape. Do you think you could free her? Be careful, you might get lost or caught by vicious guardians. Traps are laid along the way, so keep your eyes open, your mind sharp, and capture the flag.

Here is what awaits the winners:

- Five cup coasters
