Rules
(Only the English version is considered official)
1. Fair Play
Creating duplicate accounts or using brute-force methods is prohibited. Most puzzles require a combination of answers, so random guessing without logic will appear suspicious and may result in account suspension without explanation.
2. The Main Map of MONPAX
For all new players, access to the Main Map is initially closed. To unlock it, you must answer the question: What is MONPAX? And most importantly — figure out where and how to do it.
The Main Map is only partially revealed. New fragments will be unlocked as players collectively solve puzzles from the Mini-maps section.
3. Mini-Maps
The Mini-maps section contains additional puzzles in the form of maps, each pointing to a real location on Earth.
If you solve a mini-map within 72 hours of its publication, you’ll receive one bonus that allows you to unlock the next fragment of the Main Map earlier than others.
This bonus can be used at any time, but only once. It’s recommended to accumulate bonuses and use them later in the game, when more of the map is revealed — this gives you a strategic advantage by seeing new parts of the map before others.
If no one solves the mini-map within 72 hours, the bonus will go to the first player who gives the correct answer, regardless of when that happens.
4. Puzzle Announcements
A new mini-map becomes available only after the previous one has been solved.
Announcements of new mini-maps will appear on the website. Stay tuned so you don’t miss updates.
5. Game Completion
Once 50% of the Main Map is revealed, the form for submitting an answer to the main puzzle of the project will become available.
The first player to submit the correct answer will be declared the winner.
They will receive the final key and can begin the physical treasure hunt.
6. Winner’s Requirements
The winner must be able to travel internationally. The final stage of the adventure will take place in a country that officially allows entry for travelers from other nations.
If the winner cannot travel, they may delegate the right to search for the treasure to someone they trust. In any case, the prize goes to the winner.
If the secret location is not found within 6 months of sending the final key by email, the key will be published on the official MONPAX website.
Anyone will then be able to search for the place and receive an additional prize — but the official winner remains unchanged.
All communication or agreements with the winner will be conducted via the email provided in their account and will be legally binding.
7. Final Phase of the Project
After receiving the final key, the winner must be ready to participate in the closing part of the adventure, which may include filming or live streaming in the area related to solving the map (for example, within the “final mile” radius of the marked location).
Filming will be done in the interests of the MONPAX project, but publishing the winner’s face, name, or voice will only happen with their consent.
8. Rule Changes
Terms, mechanics, and wording may be updated at any time.
All changes will be published on the official website: monpax.com/rules
9. Withdrawing from the Project
A player may withdraw from the project at any time simply by stopping visits to the site and project pages. The administration does not provide account moderation or deletion services, including for activated accounts.
10. Authorship
MONPAX is an independent project reflecting the unique vision of its creator.
