Sea of Thieves Hosting an IRL Quest for $100,000 Golden Bananas

Yeah, you read that right; Microsoft has decided to host an Amazing-Race-esque real-life quest with clues scattered all over the digital and physical landscapes in preparation for the launch of Sea of Thieves on March 20. The prize? Four 18-carat golden bananas that are valued at over $100,000 USD.

The quest is set to begin on March 19 at 12:00 pm PST and will require a crew of four friends to solve a total of 15 riddles over three days, but these riddles aren’t just brain teasers– they’re clues scattered both online and in locations around the world such as Key West, Florida; London, United Kingdom; Berlin, Germany; Sydney, Australia; Paris, France and even Canada. That’s not to say you’ll have to book flights to all of these places as clues will be hidden online too.

Answers to the riddles will be submitted online at the quest’s website and the first crew from each country to answer all of the riddles correctly will be entered into the semi-finals on March 22. The semi-finals will involve one final clue.

Don’t worry though, players will be able to earn other cash prizes throughout the quest.

Xbox This is awesome for them to do but this quest is going to be super hard. Good luck to whoever can figure all this out.

Whoever does work it out is gonna have one hell of a payday let's be honest.

Decy May have to try this out at somepoint.

I feel like you didn't read the article? > You need 4 people. > The quest only last 3 days > You have to do 15 riddles(I imagine they are hard riddles) based around various locations of the world > You have to meet the deadline in the 3 days to join a final riddle match later that month.

It seems like a pretty cool thing. Will be interesting to see how it plays out and who which country will win the prize. U.S.A!!! U.S.A!!!

He's a copy and paster, they don't read what the topics are about they just want to increase their numbers.

Yeah this is pretty cool and more interactive for fans into the adventure genre. I've seen a few apps where users have to travel to find stuff like clues that lead the next locus so cool to see how far interacting with games has come.
