The Game // Case TGOS-S2
Classified · opens Q4 of 2026
The Game of Satoshi
Once a year the Archive opens one era of Bitcoin's history — and buries a game inside the show. The clues hide in plain sight. The prize is real Bitcoin, paid on-chain.
Entry 002 // How a season plays
Locked before launch
Thirteen weeks. Three phases.
Weekly drops. Games running in parallel. One gate between you and the final week.
Phase 1 · The season
Watch. Answer. Collect.
A new episode drops every week, a knowledge quiz follows it, and the main game runs underneath it all. Everything you need is public — in the show, the interviews, the livestreams.
The gate
Hard gate. No exceptions.
A perfect quiz record and a completed main game are the only way in. No shortcuts, no wildcards.
Final week · The Eliminator
Five games unseal at once.
The final week resolves everything. The leaderboard locks. The pool pays on-chain.
Every rule, edge case, and tiebreaker is written down and published before launch. That's the lesson Season 1 taught the hard way.
Entry 003 // The games
Sealed
One is revealed at launch. Five stay sealed.
Every file we can open today is open below. The rest unseals when the season says so.
Main game
Runs the whole season
One thread woven through the entire season, from episode one to the gate. Solve it as the show airs.
Declassified at launch
The arcade
12 games. Real skills.
Free browser games built for the season — each one trains a real Bitcoin skill, from spotting scams to securing a backup to building a block.

Genesis to the first halving.
Satoshi alone. Hal Finney. The cypherpunks. The pizza. The first halving.
Twelve animated episodes and an interview slate built for the era — the strongest chapter of the story, told from the inside.

Entry 006 // Sponsors
Slots open
Sponsors don't buy ads. They enter the record.
A sponsor slot in The Game of Satoshi is a place in the canonical Bitcoin story franchise. The brand becomes part of the record — exposure compounds across reruns and the back catalog, season after season.
Three tiers — Presenting, Episode, Mention. One sponsor per category per season. We send the deck on request.

Entry 008 // Common questions
On record
Before you sign up.
Q · COST
Do I need to pay to play?
No. The Archive and the game are free. Everything you need to play comes from public content.
Q · TIMING
When does Season 2 open?
Target window: Q4 of 2026. Actual launch depends on closing sponsorships. Waitlist hears first when the date is locked.
Q · LANGUAGES
Can I follow it in my language?
Yes. The show ships in 7 languages — English, Czech, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French. Game answers are accepted in English.
Q · WHY HERE
Why is the game page on the Archive?
The Satoshi Archive is the year-round project. The Game of Satoshi is a 3-month chapter that runs inside it once a year. One canvas, one game, same roof.
Q · FUNDING
What if Season 2 isn't fully funded?
Then S2 waits a cycle. The game isn't paywalled, so the season has to be funded outside of players — sponsors first, Geyser second, and the audience sharing the show. The bigger that audience, the easier the raise lands.
Q · SEASON 1
Will Season 1 ever pay out?
Yes — to whoever cracks the remaining puzzle once it reopens as a permanent challenge. One winner. Details land in the closure note when locked.
Q · FUTURE
Is there a Season 3?
Planned. One season per Bitcoin halving epoch is the design. Each season is its own commitment. We get S2 made first.
Q · TRUST
Why should I trust this after Season 1?
We won't ask you to. We're publishing the post-mortem, the locked-down rules, and the sponsor list before launch. Decide once you've seen them.
