Players had to solve 256 puzzles to get clues to its location and it was found in 2007, thus officially putting an end to the game. However, out of the 256 cards, only one remains unsolved: A picture, a name and “Find me!” written in Japanese. Narrated by award-winning actor Willem Dafoe, FINDING SATOSHI is the wild story of a 14-year search for answers to a hide-and-seek puzzle game, and the fascinating path to the answer!
