The clues, the layers, the popcorn,the actors — they finally connect into one clear, warm truth. Your present is revealed. You read the final message: “Your present is a trip to pure history in Nuremberg.” A smile spreads across your face as the meaning sinks in. This adventure isn’t something you take alone. You will be travelling with me — your loving husband. By car, comfortably and without any cursed compass. Instead, we’ll rely on Google Maps, real maps, and the joy of exploring together. We go in January, for 4 days / 3 nights. Enough time to dive deep into history: at least four museums, each one a world of its own. There’s a hotel waiting for us in the south of the Old Town, close to everything — cobblestone streets, cafés, stories whispering from every corner. And of course, a city tour, maybe even an underground adventure below the historic streets. And to prepare properly, together we will watch a classic: “Judgment at Nuremberg.” Popcorn included, of course. You close the envelope, heart warm, adventure ready. The Christmas present game ends here — but the real journey is just about to begin. Congratulations! You finished the Game. This is the final curtain.
