on the beach. In the game, you are one of the boys – Josh or Frank. Josh loves the beach very much and he is good at
windsurfing. Frank is interested in doing quizzes and playing guessing games.
One day, they meet a strange man. He collects old things. He needs to find a small statue from the Stone Age and he
