Each collectible Satoshi’s Quest trading card features an exclusive artwork depicting one of our four heroes (the Hacker, the Slacker, the Geek or the Freak).
You can upgrade cards via the 'Upgrade' link on the website, which will activate once the game launches.
To upgrade a card you will need :
The first card gets upgraded with the clue unlocked and a new random clue shard.
The second card is returned in its original form.
When you have upgraded all four heroes to ‘Godlike Genius’ level, you can try to reveal Satoshi’s identity by checking the cards in the ‘Find Satoshi’ generator, which will be activated on the website following the initial sale.
Depending on the combination of clues that the heroes have discovered on their journeys, this may unlock one of the three unique ‘Endgame’ cards.
Humans have conquered space… or at least a small part of it.
The invention of the space elevator allowed space-ports to be built in orbit, removing the need for large rockets to escape Earth’s gravity. These quickly grew to become huge cities in the sky, and the dawn of cheap interplanetary travel led to the establishment of permanent human colonies on the Moon and Mars.
Approaching the 50th anniversary of the publication of the Bitcoin white paper, cryptocurrency dominates InterPlanetary finance. However, one mystery still remains; who was Satoshi Nakamoto, its pseudonymous writer…
Remains that is, until a long dormant account on the long dormant Bitcointalk forum wakes from an almost 48 year slumber.
But of course, when crypto went mainstream the cypherpunks moved on. So when Satoshi chooses to return, nobody is watching… well almost nobody:
In China, Zhang Meili, a teenage 'Hacker', is trawling the depths of the InterplaNet looking for 'safe' historical targets to practice her craft. When she randomly stumbles across Satoshi's message, her immediate thought is that somebody else has hacked the account… but something just doesn't feel right, so she decides to dig deeper.
On the other side of the world in Brazil, college ’Slacker’ Gabriel Rodriguez is on the verge of flunking his Modern History course. Desperately trying to engage the student, his tutor has assigned what she hopes is an easy task on the history of money. But it is only when Gabriel notices the post by Satoshi that he really starts paying attention.
Omar Wilson's grandparents were some of the first inhabitants of Akon City, and he has always taken a great interest in both his family's and the city's history. A self-confessed 'Geek', Omar obsessively researches the early days of cryptocurrency, and often uses 'Satoshi' as his username in online forums. He can hardly believe his eyes when he reads the forum post, and resolves to investigate further.
And in Berlin, Germany, Maximillian Mayer, a flamboyant ‘Freak’ who has restyled himself ‘Maxer’ and takes great pride in shocking others with his outlandish behaviour and obscure cultural references, discovers Satoshi’s message while digging for esoteric facts to drop. Thinking that he is the only one to see it, he decides that finding Satoshi is his best hope of gaining the level of attention he so desperately seeks.
Unfortunately, some sloppy coding in the initial sharding implementation for the InterplaNet Archive meant that all data which predated its existence was split into packets and ‘decentralised’ on a number of geographically-remote offline ‘cold’ servers.
So in their quest to find Satoshi, our heroes must journey across Earth, the Sky Cities, the Moon and Mars, searching for fragments of clues and artefacts to discover the true identity.
To finally crack the mystery they may need to pool their resources.
