Everyone, at least once in their life, has dreamed of finding a treasure!  A Spanish Galleon at the bottom of the Carribean Sea, golden ducats, pearls, emeralds...  And imagine the adventures, the experiences, the unforgettable emotions that await someone who dares to try!  The romance...

In fact, the search for treasure is not anything like what we typically imagine.  Unfortunately, as sober reflection suggests, in order to undertake an expedition you would need to plough through a pile of books and maps, assemble a professional team, and, worst of all, find investors to sponsor the undertaking.  And people who invest money somehow think about romance least of all... Too bad...

But don't we have the right to dream of plunging into the world of adventure for just one evening?  The unanimous answer is: YES!

The facts: June 28 at 6:00 pm; 6 teams; 32 participants (who weren't afraid of a little exertion); 10 stations.  This was the SMS Club QUEST on the occasion of Constitution Day in Ukraine.

The idea was to be the first team to reach the finish line.  But in order to reach the finish line, each team had to be recorded as having visited each of 10 stations - and to find the stations they had to decifer a series of clues that they received at the start of the game.  And that, as it turned out, was not at all easy.  All in all, the fastest team took an hour and a half, and that's something, considering that they were running almost all the time.  In short, a real test of mind and body!  What excitement!  And the excitement was magnified by the fact that each member of the winning team would receive an official SMS Club mug as a prize.

But of course, the Quest was not the purpose of the SMS Club meeting.  After all of the teams had crossed the finish line and had a breather, we talked about treasure.  And not only those that are at the bottom of the sea, but about those that are in the human heart.  What do you think of as valuable?  Money, glory, power, relationships?  The SMS Club is convinced that real treasure is restoring the relationship with the creator.  He is our pearl.  That was the concluding thought of the evening, and we hope that it will influence the thoughts of many young people.
