Finding Satoshi

In 2005, a U.K based company developed an alternate reality game called Perplex City, which was played in the real world. The goal was to discover the location of an artifact called the “receda cube” buried with 100,000 GBP somewhere in the world. Players had to solve 256 puzzles to get clues to its location and it was found in 2007, thus officially putting an end to the game. However, out of the 256 cards, only one remains unsolved: A picture, a name and “Find me!” written in Japanese. Narrated by award-winning actor Willem Dafoe, FINDING SATOSHI is the wild story of a 14-year search for answers to a hide-and-seek puzzle game, and the fascinating path to the answer!
