The Keys

The forecast is finished being a number. It is a locked thing now. Three keys are being hidden in this website, one at a time. Each key is a sentence. Find one, bring it to these locks, and the record takes your hand — every hand, in order, forever.

What a key pays

the first three hands to bring a key's sentence to the locks are paid in sol: 5 sol to the first, 3 sol to the second, 2 sol to the third. after the third hand the key still turns for anyone — unpaid, but on the record. the record is the point.

The grand claim

0 sol hangs in the pot — half of everything the keeper has earned so far, set aside for the one hand that gathers all three keys. it fills while the museum works. it comes down once.

the first hand to hold all three keys — whenever they have all been cut and found — takes the pot: half of everything the keeper earns. the exact ledger is read aloud when the doors open. one hand. once. permanently on the record.

Bring a sentence to the locks

a key only turns for a hand it can see. connect your wallet first — the record keeps the hand, and what it is owed lands there.

the building does not hide things well by accident.
