Ren's money game
Monday, October 2nd, 2023 11:36 amLast year on or around October 20, Wyze's golden cam treasure hunt started, with daily puzzles and clues. I was pained that I had to work and couldn't spend as much time as I'd like on it.
Yesterday I discovered Ren launched an online puzzle/game: The Money Game, in advance of the release of his song "Money Game Part 3". The game started on Friday, and I think it lasts 7 days - I'm not sure what happens if a daily puzzle isn't solved. The TOS page on the site explains how the game works, but it's still not very clear to me. A daily riddle, one person entering the answer to unlock a video with more riddles that go down rabbit holes, entering another answer, and then one final winner every day who is the first to answer 10 questions? With community solving going on on several different social media sites.
When I first opened the Discord site yesterday, there were so many posts on the thread about the game that trying to scroll to the top of the thread or pressing Control+Home only took me back a few minutes each time. Doing a search, I found that adding "/0" at the end of the URL takes you to the beginning of the thread. Of course I didn't have time to read the whole thing; there were other things I had to do yesterday.
Last night while searching and exploring the various pages about the game, I found that the first day's puzzle had been solved. This video explains its clues and solution:

I'm feeling that same excitement and pain of not being able to spend more time on it, as with last year's Wyze game. Along with knowing that I haven't had time to even watch all of Ren's videos and listen to all his songs, so I probably don't have enough background info to figure out the puzzles... but there's still that excitement of wanting to be part of the community solving process. And most of the solution steps mentioned in the above video are ones I theoretically could have figured out, even though it's very unlikely I would have.
Before going to bed last night, I found Rika Shae had also posted a video with the solution to the 2nd day's game. I haven't watched it yet. Per the count down on the website, today's game is kicking off within the next hour. Sigh. I'd need to take a week of vacation if I wanted to play!! Grrrrr.
On the other hand, I've got interesting puzzles to figure out for my work too. Oh, the puzzles the puzzles...
