The lesson starts with a rather difficult quiz guestion of which the students don’t know the answer at once, hence they have to look it up from the Internet. When they know the answer the teacher tells them where to find the first QR code. The group hurry up to the Qr code where is the next question or problem to solve. There are always 3 kinds of answers (a,b,c) and only the right answer leads to next QR code. Until the group ultimately finds the “treasure”. The first group to find the treasure can pick the first price from the “treasure chest” yet all groups finding the treasure get some reward from the chest.
