📜 Storyline:
You are Lysa Jansen.
While sorting through your mother’s attic, you stumble upon a box of old postcards addressed to Anieliersgracht 56, Amsterdam, and signed simply “MJ.”
Filled with curiosity, you send a postcard to the address—only for it to be returned with the words “RETURN TO SENDER.”
Who was MJ, and why do these postcards stir such a deep connection within you? The answers lie hidden in the mysterious streets of Jordaan.
Solve puzzles, unlock secrets, and uncover the truth about the postcards—and yourself.
