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.

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.

Looks like you'd have to team up with someone from each country unless you had the funds to travel to each country. That would be pretty crazy to do.

That is amazing, bring the community together to solve riddles and figure out where the treasure is hidden. The only down side I can see about this though is what if someone who doesn't help out find the treasure themselves and rips the prize away from other participants that have worked hard for the prize. (I guess that's the life of a pirate)

I can't wait to play this game. I've been looking forward to playing it ever since I heard of it.

This is absolutely amazing. I don't think any other game or company could be such a quest.

I do love it when devs plant easter eggs around the place, but this is just taking things to a whole new level..

GG to them.
