A cash hunt game known as “Hunt The Mouse” returns to Singapore from Oct. 10 to Nov. 9, with its biggest-ever prize pool of 1 million Singaporean dollars ($765,000).

Dubbed the “world’s simplest million-dollar cash hunt,” the game requires players to look for a gold coin worth 500,000 Singaporean dollar ($382,500), 175 silver coins each worth 2,500 Singaporean dollars ($1,912) and 125 silver coins each worth 500 Singaporean dollars ($382.5), which are hidden progressively across the city state. Players can follow daily hints on Sqkii’s — the gamification marketing company behind the hunt — Facebook, Instagram and Telegram and use a real-time map to track coin locations.

To date, over 400,000 Singaporean dollars ($306,000) in prizes has been awarded to 193 winners, CEO Kenny Choi told Mothership. The free-to-play game is open to both residents and tourists and offers additional rewards through power-ups.
