獵殺老鼠：3 位朋友發現了價值 50 萬美元的令人垂涎的金幣

這款免費遊戲於 10 月 10 日開始，預計運行一個月。

Three friends have struck gold — literally — after finding the $500,000 gold coin hidden as part of the annual treasure hunt game Hunt the Mouse.

三位朋友在一年一度的尋寶遊戲「獵捕老鼠」中發現了隱藏的價值 50 萬美元的金幣，這確實是實至名歸的。

The trio, Wee Kiat, Edward and Erwin, discovered the coin at 1.43am on Sunday (Nov 8), game organiser Sqkii announced in social media posts later that day.

遊戲組織者 Sqkii 當天晚些時候在社交媒體帖子中宣布，Wee Kiat、Edward 和 Erwin 三人於週日（11 月 8 日）凌晨 1.43 發現了這枚硬幣。

In an Instagram story uploaded by Sqkii, Wee Kiat showed the exact location where they found the gold coin — behind leaves under a bench in front of Blk 208 at New Upper Changi Road in Bedok.

在 Sqkii 上傳的 Instagram 故事中，Wee Kiat 展示了他們發現金幣的確切位置——勿洛新上樟宜路第 208 座大牌前的樹葉後面的長凳下。

Sqkii said they completed their verification processes and confirmed that the three men found the coin "fair and square" using the provided hints.

Sqkii 表示，他們完成了驗證過程，並確認三人根據提供的提示「公平公正」地發現了這枚硬幣。

If you're sad about not finding the gold coin in time, Sqkii reassures participants that there are still more silver coins to be found.

如果您因為沒有及時找到金幣而感到難過，Sqkii 會向參與者保證還有更多銀幣可以找到。

The free-to-play game kicked off on Oct 10 and was set to run for a whole month.

Participants had to wait for clues from Sqkii, which were delivered three times a day via its Instagram, Facebook and Telegram pages.

參與者必須等待來自 Sqkii 的線索，這些線索每天透過其 Instagram、Facebook 和 Telegram 頁面發送三次。

Players could also use the game's real-time map that provided daily hints.

Sqkii also urged participants to stay safe and reminded them that coins would not be hidden underwater, in places of worship, or buried underground.

Sqkii 也敦促參與者保持安全，並提醒他們硬幣不會藏在水下、禮拜場所或埋在地下。

This year's Hunt the Mouse game is more lucrative than its past editions. Last year, the grand prize was $100,000, with a gold coin worth $50,000 and 100 silver coins worth $500.

今年的捉老鼠遊戲比過去的版本更有利可圖。去年的大獎為10萬美元，其中價值5萬美元的金幣一枚，價值500美元的銀幣100枚。
