Blue skies, green fields, bright morning sunshine, countryside sights and sounds, and the promise of buried treasure. We could get used to this. offers the most blissful vision of rural Britain since e – which is no great surprise since it’s been designed by anybody, but you will hear them: the story unfolds over a series of conversations conducted via walkie-talkie. Beth has called upon her friend Adam to help her locate an earring (matching one she discovered in her youth that earned her a modicum of local fame) before the farmland they’re digging up is sold. You slowly sweep your metal detector over the fields, covering as much ground as you can while taking in the bucolic views – with the promise of sandwiches, Jaffa Cakes and a good old catch-up in Beth’s car when you break for lunch.
