"SatQuest" by Stephanie Ademuyiwa.
SatQuest is a mobile-first game that teaches Bitcoin and Lightning through 26 levels of puzzles and word hunts, built with a Lagos/Nigerian lens.
Players learn Bitcoin basics, earn real sats as they complete levels, and can start without a bank account. This is Bitcoin education as gameplay.

Bitcoin Designers Meetup, in collaboration with @bitdesigners is coming to Nairobi , here's what it looks like. 🇰🇪⚡

You can look forward to:
