Hello Steemians,

Week 4 pushed the map into a new dimension: time distortion, living memory, and “places where the past refuses to stay quiet.”
This time, the mission was:

Where does history “glitch” in your area — where the past suddenly overlaps with today?

Participants had to choose a real place, pin it on SteemAtlas, explain the historical context, write a short personal narrative with a clear “past vs present” overlap, include 2–4 original photos, upload a Speem.watch proof video (20–60s) stating one historical FACT and showing one visible DETAIL, and add a Hidden Numerical Clue (a number/date puzzle for others to guess).
Week 4 also required visible engagement: attempting to solve other participants’ hidden clues through comments.

This week produced a strong variety of “glitches”: abandoned colonial infrastructure, national monuments, sacred sites, cultural heritage layers, community-built roads, and traditional shops that still breathe old life inside modern streets.

Score Verification Note

All final scores used in this report are the official jury totals and are mathematically consistent with the rubric (sum of the 5 criteria equals the final score for every reviewed entry).

Post Quality Snapshot

The most common Week 4 weaknesses were:

  • Missing or weak hidden number/date puzzle (many posts mentioned numbers but did not build a clear solvable clue).
  • Speem compliance gap: using YouTube only where Speem.watch/IPFS proof was required.
  • “FACT + DETAIL” not explicit (video existed but the post didn’t clearly state: “In my video I say (FACT) and I show (DETAIL)”).
  • Engagement not visible (no clear proof of solving at least two other clues).
  • Historical anchor too vague (strong vibe, but missing one concrete date/year/plaque/sign reference).
High quality (8.5 – 10) 5 posts Clear history anchor, strong “glitch” feeling, correct media proof, and a functional numerical puzzle.
Good (7.5 – 8.49) 2 posts Solid entries, but missing 1 key strength (puzzle clarity, Speem strictness, or engagement proof).
Needs improvement (Below 7.5) 11 posts Most often missing a true hidden numerical clue and/or strict Speem/IPFS proof + engagement proof.

1@lunasilverIglesia Matriz de Villa de Cura (Aragua, Venezuela)9.5Best full execution: rich verified dates + excellent hidden clue leading to 1960 + strong past/present overlap + engagement fully met.View post
2@ripon0630Chittagong Old Railway Station (Chattogram, Bangladesh)9.1Top-tier “abandoned landmark” glitch: strong anchor (1896), fair clue, and very vivid decay-vs-memory atmosphere.View post
3@marweneMédersa Slimania (Tunis, Tunisia)8.8One of the most original interpretations: “glitch” as cultural mislabeling + excellent proof video execution and strong narrative structure.View post
4@max-proNational Martyrs' Monument (Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh)8.7Visitor-friendly pin + meaningful national memory site; strong visuals and historical framing around 1971.View post
5@mahadisalimHatirjheel Project / Lake (Dhaka, Bangladesh)8.5Great “modern history glitch”: transformation backed by dates (2007–2013) + clear on-site proof and strong concept.View post
6@dove11Peer Baba Ki Mazar (Meerut, India)8.3Creative “myth + trace evidence” structure with a strong hidden clue concept; close to top tier with cleaner number focus + engagement proof.View post

Community Highlights

Best Hidden Numerical Clue


@lunasilver delivered the clearest, fairest clue design: a clean path that guides readers straight to 1960 without confusion.

Best “History Still Visible” Atmosphere


@ripon0630 captured the strongest abandoned-history mood, where the past is physically readable in the present.

Best Proof Video Structure (FACT + DETAIL)


@marwene came closest to perfect execution: clear claim + visual evidence with strong framing and sequencing.

Best Modern History Twist


@mahadisalim proved Week 4 is not only about ruins — a city project can also be a “glitch” when the old reality disappears into a new landmark.

Honorable Mention (Just Outside Top 6)


@bijoy1 (8.3) brought a strong community-memory concept (a road as living history) and solid Speem/IPFS proof.

Jury Notes for Week 5 Improvement

  • Hide ONE number/date only — make it solvable (avoid multiple distracting numbers).
  • Use Speem.watch/IPFS proof cleanly (avoid “YouTube only” when strict proof is required).
  • Video must be 20–60 seconds and should clearly match the rule: one FACT spoken + one DETAIL shown close-up.
  • Separate verified history vs oral story when both exist (fact layer stays clear).
  • Engagement must be visible: solve at least two other hidden clues through comments (add links/screenshots if possible).

All Verified Scores (Week 4)

Closing Words

Week 4 proved that our world map is not only geographic — it is temporal.
Each pin became a “crack in time”: a station that still remembers crowds, a church that carries centuries, a monument where history stands guard, a city project that erased an old reality, and shops where yesterday still sells quietly today.

Congratulations to the Top 6 winners, and thank you to everyone who explored, filmed, encoded, guessed, and interacted.

Thank you so much for the Honorable Mention.

It's a true honor to be in this group of six. I'm very happy because with each task I've been learning more details about the Steem Atlas.
