MonteCrypto: The Bitcoin Enigma is a first-person puzzle game with a unique twist. Instead of high scores, the first player to unlock the mysteries of the 24 puzzles will win a valuable Bitcoin.

Be the first

Thanks to the hype and price surrounding the first cryptocurrency, MonteCrypto: The Bitcoin Enigma expertly taps into the feeling of a grand treasure hunt for the modern age. With the volatile Bitcoin trading from anywhere between $8,000 to $17,000 over the past few months, the game is sure to draw a large amount of interest. Despite the fact that it could be said that this is simply a marketing ploy for an uninteresting puzzle game, and the game certainly doesn't improve on previous titles, the financial incentive adds a new layer to the experience. MonteCrypto: The Bitcoin Enigma also features co-op and community features. Players can leave notes or messages within game to help or hinder others. The game itself takes place in an atmospheric castle full of dark corridors and bizarre inhabitants. Clues are hidden in features and riddles across walls in a graphically basic environment.
