The pitch
“You embody a member of Europol – Financial Fraud Section. Urgently contacted by the Athens Head Office, you are asked to join an important investigation into the activities of a notorious antiquities dealer named Badass Daddy…
Arrested a few months ago in Athens, it seems that he has been contacting members of his team to conduct transactions from his hideout in Paris, where you are. The Athens Head Office suspects Badass Daddy of trying to launder his illegal money via bitcoin transactions. If Badass Daddy’s gang manages to launder his money and get it back in cash, it will then be impossible to trace and recover.
The Athens Head Office thus gives you a mission of the greatest importance: go to Badass Daddy’s hideout, try to track down the illegal money and arrest the criminals before it’s too late.
Will you manage to thwart Badass Daddy’s plans and to trace the money in time?”
Here is the scenery of the game. Accompanied throughout the game by the Athens Head Office via some cinematics, you will be immersed in the bitcoins and money laundering worlds. You will have to find ans search the Badass Daddy’s hideout, look for clues and solve puzzles to find the money and arrest the criminals. Through this game, you will learn about blockchain, bitcoin and money laundering.
