Hello Dear Steemit Team,

I am submitting my solo application for Steemit Challenge Season 29 with an original and community-driven concept.

Geo-Quest Mystery turns SteemAtlas into a quest map and Speem.watch into short proof videos. Each week, participants complete a creative mission linked to a real place, publish a SteemAtlas post with a pinned location and a short story, then add a Speem.watch video as proof. The special twist is that every entry includes one hidden clue that other users must find in the comments. This creates natural interaction, fun competition, and consistent engagement throughout the season.

Mandatory platforms

SteemAtlas is mandatory. Each participant must pin the visited location so every story becomes part of a season-long world map.
Speem.watch is mandatory. Each participant must add a short proof video (20–60 seconds) embedded or linked in the post.

Challenge format

Two weekly posts will be published by the host. The first post introduces the weekly quest, rules, examples, and deadline. The second post announces the six best entries, honorable mentions, and weekly highlights.
Each weekly entry must include a SteemAtlas pin, a short narrative, 2–4 photos, a Speem.watch proof video, and one hidden clue.
To keep interaction strong, each participant must comment on at least two entries weekly and try to guess the hidden clue with a short explanation.

Geo-Quest Mystery — 6 Week Plan

Week	Quest theme	What to do on SteemAtlas	Speem.watch proof video	Hidden clue requirement
1	The Origin Point	Pin a place that represents you as an explorer and tell why	Short intro of the place + your “starting point” message	A word about you hidden as an acrostic or emoji code
2	The Sound Map	Pin a place with a strong atmosphere and describe the sounds	Capture ambient sound without filming faces	Guess the sound (example: “name 3 sounds heard”)
3	The Color Hunt	Pin a location dominated by one color and explain why	Show 5 objects of that color found on site	A mini riddle based on the chosen color
4	History Glitch	Pin a place with history or a story, even a small one	Tell 1 fact and show 1 detail (sign, architecture, symbol)	A hidden number or date to discover
5	Route of Clues	Pin a mini-route (start/end) or one spot with a described path	Quick POV walk with 3 moments	Guess the correct order of the 3 clues
6	The Final Reveal	Choose a place discovered from another participant and credit them	“I validate this discovery and why”	A final hidden message using first letters of key lines

Goals and objectives

This challenge improves observation, creative storytelling, and short video communication. It builds a real global map of experiences through SteemAtlas pins. It increases community activity through clue-hunt comments, weekly points, and friendly competition.

Engagement system

Each participant must comment on at least two entries every week by guessing the hidden clue and explaining the reason.
A weekly leaderboard will highlight clue hunters and helpful commenters.
A bonus option is a short video reply to someone’s comment or question.
An optional friendly duel can be allowed where two participants give each other a safe and simple mission for the same week.
