Motivational story of the escape game:

In the not-too-distant future, people have lost trust and interest in politics. Their lack of interest has led to the increase in the influence of anti-democratic and anti-EU parties throughout Europe. The year is now 2040. The European Union has not existed for 16 years and the effects of its collapse are slowly starting to show. Extremist parties have started to exploit social instability and conflicts of opinion, states have stopped showing solidarity with each other, they protect their own markets and borders, the possibility of travel is limited, there is a lack of labor and some important resources.
How can the Czech Republic and Europe be helped out of this situation? Your group of investigative journalists has been searching for an answer to this for some time. You have just received new information from your secret source. All you have to do is get into the briefcase where it is hidden…
