Opsys and its reward 10000$

In my quest to find new puzzle games, I stumbled upon Opsys some time ago (and even a walkthrough by MaGtro).
I heard about a 10.000 dollar reward in real life for the person who completed it first ( = found all 100 coins), I was just wondering -
did just really happen, was there an announcement about the person who solved it first, if so is there a internet source/article for it? I find the concept
intriguing. But then again, I am wondering how to prevent that a developer tells the solutions to a friend to get the money themselves....

Per Wikipedia "Production
Lemon Interactive, the game's Polish developer, announced a competition where by the first player to find all the coins would win 10,000 dollars, but the competition was never finalised. The competition was also extended to the English-speaking world.[2] The demo version lacked some gameplay elements and only allowed players to walk through the wardrobe in their own apartment to the virtual reality lab, and access the temple VR, tomb VR and theatre VR.[3]"

Thanks, Ana. I had no idea there is a wikipedia entry for Opsys

Oh, that article is totally wrong

Lemon Interactive was not this game's developer - it was just its distributor in Poland.
The game was developed by Hypermedia from Nicosia, Cyprus - there would be totally no reason for a Polish company to develop a game in Greek and about Cyprus

Lemon Interactive did announce the contest, in Poland, like other distributors and the developer/publisher themselves had it announced in other countries.
So, the Wikipedia article's source proves that that Polish contest (for 10000 złotych, not dollars) was never finalized - but that does not mean that the 10000 USD contest for English-speaking world was never finalized either. Although I was never able to discover its results...

Good to see you posting Iurii! Hope you are well and safe!

Thanks! I am fine and safe for now

That's good news Iurii! Let's hope it stays that way!

Very Good news Iurii.

Thanks for the extra info Iurii and glad to hear you are managing okay still. I totally remember this game and also am curious whatever happened to that prize. Maybe someone can still claim it ... <joke>
