When one of the locations matches a spot in her town, she decides to investigate. She heads to the location and finds an old, abandoned house, which appears to be connected to the map.Episode 3: The Secret RoomWhile exploring the abandoned house, Jenna discovers a hidden room filled with strange symbols that match those on the map. She finds another key, this time a bronze one, and a mysterious journal that seems to belong to someone who knew about the map long ago.Episode 4: The First ClueAs Jenna reads the journal, she learns that the map is part of an ancient puzzle meant to lead to a powerful artifact.

Jenna narrowly escapes when she realizes she's being followed by a mysterious figure who seems to know about the key and the map.Episode 6: The Forgotten WellDetermined to stay ahead, Jenna ventures to the well and uses the bronze key to unlock a hidden passage inside. She finds an underground chamber filled with ancient artifacts and a second map that leads to another location. The chamber also holds a warning about the dangers of continuing the quest.Episode 7: The Lost Letter Back home, Jenna finds an old letter hidden inside the journal, addressed to her grandmother. The letter reveals that her family has a long history connected to the map and the treasure. Jenna realizes she’s not the first in her family to search for it, and that the mysterious figure following her may be connected to her past.Episode 8: The BetrayalJenna confides in her brother, Max, about everything she’s discovered.
