How To Play the Game: Guide

Guide:

Welcome to one of our many secret Headquarters! If you're here then you've either accidentally stumbled across our page, received an invite or you've probably noticed that littered around the web are secret encrypted messages, binary codes and more and decided to take the Heroic effort to find us. Either way we're happy you're here!

Level up with us as a community to unlock more missions and stories, uncover rare items and earn Hero Points to be redeemed for more. The current mission so far is called "Prologue: An Introduction", answer the call, build teams, create allies and step foot into a world of danger, adventure and more!

Here are some Tips:

Blogs & Articles  written by us contain encrypted messages. Some of these messages lead to different written locations, others reveal messages. If you've ever played an Interactive Fiction or a MUD this will seem familiar to you, but if you haven't then you're in for a treat! Encrypted messages can be unencrypted by using a phrase mentioned within the current article or another article. Sometimes we'll use a pattern like 001.

Binary codes often contain links, hints or phrases, they're fairly easy to solve if you can read binary.

Hashtags act as commands just like in an Interactive Fiction, if you discover badges and want to redeem points make sure to include @zenratstudios and let us know what you found so we can confirm.

Campaigns like our One Million Heroes campaign serve more than one purpose. Hidden inside them and other products and services we place have are new levels, prizes and rewards. Those who participate can unlock rare items, new stories, hints, and can unlock levels.

Allies & Teams join up with people online and in groups to solve puzzles and crack them. Share your secret locations and stories found!

Known Headquarter Locations:

Facebook - this is where you'll see mostly game related posts. You won't see a lot of posts from other people who aren't part of Zenratstudios within this page unless that article or post contains a secret hint or password. You can keep track on some of the puzzles here.

Steem.it - this is where our hardest puzzles are placed because we believe the members in the blockchain community who are pioneers and familiar with encryption.

Reddit - similar to steem.it we'll place some of our hard puzzles here, but this can also be the place where people communicate and work together to solve them. Reddit is our base for storing all the stories as they become unlocked, though we may create a Wikia for that in time.

Twitter - is where we'll send direct recruitment tweets and invitations for Heroes to join our team, unlike Facebook which will mostly have content that is predominately for Facebook, Twitter will contain tweets from other people as well as ourselves with occasionally sprinkled messages and hints. We'll always post articles with tweets there.

Medium/Blog -  these are some of the places where you can find our articles. 

Future Communities - in time we'll integrate other communities and blogs!

Each community is distinct with its own groups of people are you ready to join them?

Coming Soon!:

We're working on integrating several features. 

• Ways to reward people for working on teams and with other groups!
• Guilds! Because who doesn't love a good guild? 
• The utilization of Hero Points which can be redeemed for prizes and rewards and even real money
• An actual Shop to purchase and trade rare items for new clues, hints, and stronger ones
• New Levels, Classes, and Powers to uncover
• Reward points for mentioning, retweeting and participating!
• And more!
