The “world’s simplest cash hunt,” #HuntTheMouse by gamification company Sqkii, makes its return this year with a bigger cash prize pool!

From today until Nov. 9, locals and tourists in Singapore can participate in the hunt and get a chance to win a grand prize of SG$500,000. For its fifth edition, the event pools a total of SG$1,000,000, hidden across various places in the country.

During the event, participants are on a quest to search for 300 silver coins, each carrying a value of either SG$2,500 or SG$500. There is only one gold coin, valued at SG$500,000, hidden in a secret location.

Each player, also known as hunters, is encouraged to follow hints and the real-time map on the game's website to be able to locate these coins and redeem their corresponding cash value.

For those who need an extra hand, the game also launches four new power-up features: the Coin Sonar, which allows hunters to scan the area around them for precise location for a silver coin; the Metal Detector, which lets players use their phone as a metal detector when they’re in an area near a coin; the Beacon, which gives participants discounted power-up usage for ten minutes; and the Pedometer, which tracks the player’s steps while on the hunt and rewards them with Crystals (used to obtain gold coin hints and eliminate locations) for hitting a target count.

To take part in the hunt, open the game’s landing page on your mobile phone and use the map to locate the coins. You can also watch out for daily hints on Sqkii’s Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram channels.

Sqkii's #HuntTheMouse makes a grander return after a successful edition in 2023, which pooled a total cash prize of SG$100,000.

Hurry and join in on #HuntTheMouse now to win cash!
