FAQS
What is Blinn Media's core mission?
I want to clearly define and simplify our core product so every member of this team can communicate it with confidence and consistency.
We have created an interactive mobile platform where users participate in real-world hunts to locate hidden artifacts placed by our team.
Here is how the experience works:
To progress, players can purchase additional clues that help narrow down locations and increase their chances of finding each artifact.
Once a player locates an artifact, they must film their hunt as proof of discovery and upload their video through our platform. After verification, they receive real cash rewards.
This model creates a complete ecosystem:
-
A game people actively participate in
-
A challenge that drives competition and repeat engagement
-
A content engine powered by player-submitted videos
-
A monetization system through entry fees and clue purchases
Every hunt becomes content. Every player becomes a creator. Every discovery becomes a shareable moment across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitch.
This is what makes Surviving the Unknown different.
We are not just building an app—we are creating a real-world, interactive entertainment platform where gameplay, content creation, and monetization all work together.
As we move forward, it is critical that we communicate this clearly, simply, and consistently.
This is the foundation of our growth.
What defines 'Surviving the Unknown'?
It is an interactive survival experience where players hunt for physical artifacts hidden in real-world locations, guided by cryptic clues in the app. Players download the app and gain access to the game through a $9.99 entry. Inside the app, they receive clues that guide them to real-world locations where artifacts such as Bigfoot, Alien, Skinwalker, and Skeleton figures have been strategically hidden.
Where can I access media assets?
High-resolution logos, product images, and project documentation are provided in the App and free clue are given through our youtube channel and social media outlets.
Are you open to partnerships?
Yes. We are currently scouting for potential media partners and sponsors for our next wave of artifacts. Contact us for details.
