The Game of Satoshi

Season 2.

Satoshi's last message has been cut into fourteen words and hidden across twelve episodes of Bitcoin's history, 2009 to the first halving. Word 1 is in Episode 1. Find all fourteen, pass the gate, and play for a prize paid on-chain. Free to play.

01Thirteen weeks. Three phases.

A new episode every week, with a word hidden inside. One gate before the final week.

Phase 1 · The season

Watch. Answer. Collect.

A new episode every week, a short quiz after it, and one or two words of a fourteen-word message hidden somewhere in the picture. Find each word and log exactly where you saw it. Interviews carry clues too. Livestreams are where the weekly giveaways happen.

Phase 2 · The gate

Fourteen words. Every quiz.

All fourteen words logged with the right timestamps and every quiz passed before the final week opens. That's the whole gate. No quota, no cutoff by rank: nobody can push you out of it.

Phase 3 · The Eliminator

Five games unseal at once.

Everyone through the gate plays five sealed games in one week. The leaderboard locks. The pool pays out on-chain by a published formula.

The rules, scoring and tiebreakers are published before Episode 1. The five sealed games explain themselves the day they open. Once published, the rules don't change during play.

02Two run all season. Five stay sealed.

The Last Message and the arcade run through the season. Five games stay sealed until the final week.

Main game · The Last Message

Fourteen words. Twelve episodes.

Satoshi's last message, split into fourteen words and hidden across the season, one or two per episode. Word 1 is in Episode 1. Find each word, log the timestamp, bank it.

05Partners enter the record.

Each episode has room for one partner, placed inside the story where it fits. Partners stay in the credits for as long as the episodes are online.

06Before you register.

Q · Cost

Do I need to pay to play?

No. The Archive and the game are free. Nothing you can buy gives you points, hints, entries, or a better shot at the prize.

Q · Timing

When does it start, and can I join late?

Registered emails get the premiere date first. You can register and start any time before the final week; words don't expire, so a late start only costs you the weekly giveaways you missed.

Q · Languages

Can I follow it in my language?

Episode pages and transcripts ship in seven languages: English, Czech, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French. Game answers are accepted in English.

Q · Funding

Where does the prize come from?

Partners first, then the community through Geyser. All of it lands in the public address in section 04.

Q · Season 1

What about Season 1?

Season 1 is closed. The closure note has the full account. For Season 2, the rules, the payout formula and the pool address are all public before Episode 1. Decide once you've seen them.
