LayerQuest: Colaso Night Watch

A timed educational hunt across the Zoo. Follow weekly clues, visit habitats, learn Bitcoin layers. Finish before the season ends.

1 August 2026 → 12 September 2026 · 6 weeks

How to play

  1. Read this week’s clue below (no spoilers for locked weeks).
  2. Visit the habitat it points to: Colaso, Bitcoin Base Camp, or Lightning Storm Run.
  3. Do the learning challenge (written reflection or classroom activity). Educators: run it as a short session.
  4. Log your seal in Telegram t.me/LayerZoo with week number + one sentence you learned.

This is a learning quest, not a prize raffle. Recognition goes to clear thinking and consistency, not speed-running.

Week 0 · Live now

Gates open: Night Watch brief

The Zoo does not sleep. Somewhere in the launch collection, a pattern waits for patient eyes. Before you chase seals, learn the ground you stand on.

Clue 0: Open the Colaso Grove. Pick any three pieces. Write one sentence each: what mood, risk, or Bitcoin idea the art suggests to you. No wrong answers. Only attention.

Terrain: Colaso · Skill: observation · Teach link: Educator Blueprint

The green that isn’t money

People confuse price charts with understanding. Night Watch starts where charts stop.

Clue 1: Still in Colaso. Find a piece that feels like scarcity, time, or custody to you. In Telegram, post: W1 · [piece # or description] · [one line: why].

Terrain: Colaso · Skill: connecting art → money ideas · Optional classroom: 10-min show-and-tell

Week 2 · Unlocks 15 Aug 2026

Ranger note (Telegram)
