The premise that reality overcomes fiction reached the cryptoecosystem. This Monday 15th, The bitcoiner community received an invitation to "hunt" the keys of a bitcoin wallet that holds the equivalent of one million dollars, as part of the Satoshi's Treasure game.

The hunters of Satoshi's Treasure will have to recover 400 of the 1,000 fragments of the private keys of the bitcoin wallet, hidden in different locations worldwide. To obtain the keys, the hunters will have to overcome various challenges whose difficulty will increase as they advance in the competition, according to the developers.

To overcome the challenges, players will receive clues that will help them achieve the goal. The first track, released yesterday, was broadcast using the Blockstream satellite, which transmits data related to bitcoin.

So far, the team of Satoshi's Treasure determined that there will be challenges that require knowledge of encryption, logic, and mathematics, among other subjects, the possibility of visiting remote locations and the performance of feats of force, as if it were a movie of action. According to Eric Meltzer, co-creator of the game, hunters or hunters' teams will be able to see in a ranking table which is the team that leads the house - like the games of hunger.

Meltzer told Coindesk that players need a minimum of 400 pieces to move the funds in BTC. He also clarified that there is not really a group of rules to participate, because it is only a game compared to the film Ready Player One, by Steven Spielberg, for which more than 6,000 participants have already registered.

There are currently three tracks available for participants, who will release on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 the first three keys of Satoshi's Treasure.
