The Gateway

Web2 to Web3 Onboarding Through Play

The Basics

Find2Earn requires only two things:

  1. Internet connection

  2. Digital maps (we recommend Google Maps)

No wallet, no crypto knowledge, no downloads. If you can browse the web, you can compete.

Why Google Maps?

Google Street View is unmatched:

  • 10+ million miles of street-level imagery captured

  • 100+ countries covered

  • Billions of individual photographs (exact count unpublished, but estimated 20-30 billion+ images)

  • Updated regularly with new coverage

This database cannot be downloaded. It's too massive for any bot to pre-process, and artistic redrawing means reverse image search fails. Human visual pattern recognition remains the only viable solution method.

Game Flow

1. Hunt Announcement (via X/Discord)

When a hunt goes live, you'll see:

  • Stylized clue image (artistically redrawn map)

  • Prize amount (typically memecoin)

  • Time limit (3-10 minutes)

  • Starting coordinates (narrows search to 2-5km radius)

  • Whitelist status (open to all, or newcomers-only)

2. Search Phase

Step 1: Click "Start here" link Opens Google Maps at approximate area (not exact location—that's what you're finding)

Step 2: Analyze the clue image Look for distinctive features:

  • Building shapes and architecture (medieval tower, modern skyscraper, church dome)

  • Terrain (hills, flat plains, coastline, river)

  • Road patterns (grid, curved, dead-ends)

  • Vegetation (palm trees = tropics, pine = temperate, sparse = arid)

  • Infrastructure (bridges, walls, specific monuments)

Step 3: Use Street View strategically

  • Don't explore every street randomly—too slow

  • Identify likely zones based on clue (e.g., "hillside with old buildings" → check elevated areas in old town)

  • Jump between locations quickly (don't walk the streets)

  • Match angles and perspectives from clue

Step 4: Verify When you think you found it:

  • Compare clue image to Street View from multiple angles

  • Check that all major features match (buildings, roads, terrain)

  • Copy exact coordinates or Google Maps share link

3. Submission

Reply to the hunt tweet with your answer:

Valid formats:

or

First valid timestamp wins. Twitter shows submission time down to the second. Even if someone else posts the same answer, posting it 1 second later = you lose.

This prevents copying. You can't just wait for someone else's answer and paste it—by the time you see their reply and copy, they've already won.

Whitelist System

Some hunts restrict participation to specific groups:

"Open to all" → anyone can submit "Whitelist only" → must be pre-approved (typically for newcomers, to give them fair shot vs experienced hunters)

Check hunt announcement for eligibility.
