This sounds like fun. Am I too late? I found a number of words.

No one has solved yet. All prizes are waiting https://blockchain.info/tx/8d10e6d82565c668c08761c08c2c80e65d7fdf18139147495dc4f26f949f2932

Some words aren't supported by Electrum, so I guess the SEED is BIP39?

I think not all words on picture could be in keys. You can ask author in telegram group.

Actually, I almost found all of them (even the hidden ones like "rotate").

Try this:
Using Photoshop, create two transparent layers for markings and another one for connections. That way, it will be easier to organize.
The real problem is following the arrows or finding the right arrow-like shapes nearby each words, fake words and guides are tricky.

Seems like, yes.
Some words' strokes are similar to the unedited drawing, it could be those.

cool... so I need to find 12 word-seed, arrange in the correct order to get access to one of 10 prize addresses
about the arrow points to the next seed word, is this mean the arrow is the clue for the word order/sequence?
or the arrow is for pointing out the next 12 word-seed?

to get access to one of 10 prize addresses

12 prizes:

50 usd X 10
100 usd X 2

The main problem that I had while looking for words is that some of them don't have arrows near them. Does that mean that they are there as a distraction? All words that count should have arrows. right?
Now, even the words that have arrows sometimes point in the general direction of 2 or 3 other words, which makes it extremely hard to find a chain. You find the words with arrows, follow them and end up not knowing if the next one is this, that, or maybe both of them in order.

Maybe the author could clear it up a bit, like if the arrows are pointing at the word or just in the direction of the word, which can mean that the target may not be the closest word to the arrow.

The arrow points to the direction of the next word to complete the seed phrase.

It was stated in the main post that sometimes other tips are used instead of the arrows. That being said, it will not be easy.

Also stated in the main post that the arrows are pointing in the direction where you can see the next word. If there are several words in that direction, most likely you should take note all of them and try one by one later.

Yup that makes it an incredibly hard task as I found it rather easy to spot the words, but some of them don't have arrows nearby. Some aren't being pointed at all and some are pointing in the general direction of a number of words.
I've read the main post, but it's still incredibly difficult thanks to the arrows not pointing at words but often in the empty space between 3 or more words. This makes the number of possible chains quite high. I wonder if somebody will find the time to go through all the possibilities.

I'm pretty sure they are not BIP39 compatible and we need Electrum for this
I tried the seeds from previous Bitnovosti 2017 New Year Quest, none are working with iancoleman BIP39 mnemonic tool page
anyone know another way or js tool that can work with Electrum seed (I can't get electrum installed on my pc)

The arrow points to the direction of the next word to complete the seed phrase.

if it is too easy, it won't be called "Bitcoin Quest - a brain twister"
but I think this is fairly easier than other puzzle I have seen before
you can try bitcore puzzle, reward is 101 BTX which is 0.05 BTC at current rate

[pixie85]

I like how it's drawn. It's so detailed, OP had to spend a lot of time on it. It's so hard though. I tried but it looks like the words are mixed up so much that it's easy to skip something or choose the wrong one. I give up, good luck to you all.
