Gunter Simulation Process:

  1. Join a Gunter Clan (or go solo!)

    • Compete to gain Experience Points (XPs). Your XPs are held individually, but can be used with your Gunter Clan to get hints for solving the riddles.

    • Think of XPs as a currency that can be cashed in for HINTS in the contest.

    • The goal of the contest is to solve the game by solving the riddles, entering the gates, and finding the Easter Egg FIRST!

  2. You will gain Experience Points (XPs) by doing the following:

    • Completing Missions

    • Solving Riddles

    • Beating Simulation Games

    • Adding to your Grail Diary

    • Acing Throwback Trivia

    • Cultural Throwbacks (see list below)

  3. You must collect THREE KEYS: the Copper Key, the Jade Key, and the Crystal Key

    • Each of these keys unlock a new Gate

    • As you complete the challenges in each Gate, you gain points on the Leaderboard and get clues for how to enter the next Gate.

  4. The first Gunter to find the Golden Egg wins the ultimate prize (125% on the unit exam without having to take it).
