STORY CHESTS PUTTEN '44

From a brother of Grandma who wants to leave the participants something. But Grandma doesn't know how to open the chest. Using letters from Grandma, the players are led through the tragedy of Putten and the puzzles as seen from Grandma's eyes.

Four situations that happen to the brother and are based on historical facts are reflected in the boxes. The brother tries to escape from the Germans who put a cordon around Putten, he tries to escape from Putten, he tries to escape from the transport to and finally he tries to escape from the concentration camp.

The puzzles fit into the story. The players, by solving the puzzles, try to make the brother escape. But in the end, the brother does not escape. The story ends with that either the brother is freed by the Allies or he did not survive the camp. The brother leaves a watch ("Does time heal all wounds?") or he leaves a watch, in a pouch, with which all the valuables of those who died in the camps were sent back to the relatives.

In this way, an attempt was made to place the contrast between the medium of escape boxes (trying to escape) and what happened to the victims of Putten (trying to escape was equivalent to death for most). There was no escape possible for most at the time.
