• Description: Somewhere in Prague a golden medallion has been hidden. Can you solve the clues to find it? This exciting game is a charity event and free to all who play. Join us to solve the mystery. The game starts March 1. Check out our prizes and register here.
• Status: Unsolved
• How to play: First, it is necessary to register. Registering ensures that you receive a clue as soon as it is released. Then, on March 8th TSA will release the first clue to the registered players. More clues will then follow periodically. When a player solves a clue, he/she needs to send an SMS to 00491771784108 (for cost reasons, we had to subscribe to a phone number in Germany. This call will incur normal SMS charges to Germany[see your provider's charges]. TSA does not receive any commission for its use) with the keyword POKLAD and a secret six-digit number that you should find in the solution and your Player ID. So your SMS text should look like this: POKLAD 123456 12. By doing this, your name and the time of the solution are recorded. You should then receive an email notifying you of the status of your answer. The person who finds the medallion is the grand prize winner. There will also be nine other possible winner categories (see Prizes) that are based on points and other criteria. If the medallion is not found by April 22th, the game is over and the winner is the person with the most points.
• How Points are Earned: Points will be awarded based on how fast the solution of a clue is reached. If you are the fastest player to answer the clue, you will receive the most possible points (based on the number of players. If there are 100 players, then the most possible is 100). This means that even though you were fastest on one clue, you could be slower on another one and then someone else could receive the most possible points. Even though you can answer a clue as many times as you like, you do have to be careful: if you answer wrong, you will be penalized 15 minutes, meaning you'll have 15 minutes added onto your time for that clue. So it's best to answer a clue when you're certain of the answer.
