How It Works

Three roles.
One live game.

Every game is a live, verifiable event. Cash locked in escrow before it starts. Streamed in real time. Resolved on-chain by the platform.

01
Patron
Design the hunt. Fund the prize.

Create checkpoints across real city locations. Write riddles. Set your prize pool. Our AI Co-Pilot validates solvability and flags safety issues. Prize is locked into escrow , guaranteed before your game goes live.

02
Seeker
Navigate. Solve. Stream live.

Race to geofenced checkpoints, crack observation-based riddles, and stream your POV as you move. First to decode the final cipher and reach the finish claims the cash. No shortcuts , GPS and velocity are monitored in real time.

03
Spectator
Watch live. Shape the outcome.

Subscribe for live POV feeds from any seeker. Buy Boosts , hints, time warps, map reveals , gifted directly to seekers mid-game. 60% of every boost goes to the seeker you support.

Why TraceQuest

Not a game app.
A live entertainment platform.

01 / 04
Every prize is already in escrow

Before a game is published, the full prize pool is deposited and locked. Not a promise , confirmed cash sitting in escrow, waiting for the winner. Withdrawable to any Nigerian bank account immediately after.

Spectators fund seekers in real time

Paid spectators buy Boosts , hints, penalty wipes, map reveals , and send them to seekers during the hunt. 60% of boost revenue goes directly to the seeker. Earn money while you run.

Live Boost Economy
03 / 04
Anti-cheat is built into the hardware

GPS spoofing detection, IMU sensor cross-checks, on-device velocity analysis, and driving detection , all run locally. Hitting 80 km/h triggers automatic disqualification. Every position event is written to an immutable audit trail.

AI builds the hunt for you

Patrons can generate an entire hunt from a single text prompt. The AI writes riddles, checks solvability, analyzes location safety, and flags edge cases. Financial decisions stay with you , the AI never touches prize or fee settings.

Founder

"We aren't just building a game. We're building a live entertainment economy where every step is verifiable."

There is a generation of Nigerians who remember exactly where they were when a Gulder Ultimate Search contestant solved a puzzle the whole viewing audience had been stuck on.

That moment watching a real Nigerian brain operate under real pressure for a real reward was something television used to deliver. And no longer does.

I built TraceQuest because that audience still exists. And that gap is still wide open.

TraceQuest is a real-world treasure hunt platform where intellectually demanding riddles meet city geography, fintech escrow, and live competitive streaming.
