After two months of riddles and mysteries, a winner has been crowned for the 12 Challenges. Pepe García Fuster, from 2nd year ESO (secondary school), was the ultimate victor of the first edition. This game began on April 18th, shortly before the Easter holidays, and kept 1st and 2nd year ESO students on their toes until mid-June. They had to solve a multitude of riddles related to mathematics, art, history, philosophy, and especially literature. Pepe was the first to solve Challenge 12, which consisted of a scavenger hunt throughout the school, with hidden messages leading to the final solution.
Of the initial 110 participants, the ten students who reached the final round earned half a point toward their final grade in Language and Literature, a subject taught by Óscar Cortina, the driving force behind the activity. The winner, in addition to earning an extra point toward their final grade, received an AC Milan jersey and a personalized video, which can be viewed at this link. The second edition of the 12-round competition is planned for next school year, with the participation of more classes and new surprises.
