Guide Sofie as she sprints across Europe at super speed to reach the World Scout Jamboree in Gdańsk, Poland. Along the way, she’ll pass through some of the continent’s most famous cities, including London, Bruges, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Berlin, while leaping over and dodging a huge variety of obstacles. And you won’t just be guiding Sofie. By buying this game, you’ll also be helping Juno and Ellie get to the World Scout Jamboree in real life. With help from their parents, they created this game, and proceeds go towards the £3,600 they each need to raise to attend. If that target is reached, all additional proceeds will go towards creating new adventures for Sofie Scout. RUN FAST! JUMP HIGH! MAKE IT TO POLAND! PS – It's Sofie with an 'f', not Sophie!
