"The project comes from the Pineapple Fund, who plans on releasing the upcoming crypto game “Neon District”, and the upcoming movie about the founding of Atari."

Nope. That's a bit too simplified to pass !!

It's a collaboration between the guy who runs the pineapple fund (anonymous) and the team creating Neon District.

Atari and the Coiin (created by Atari's founder) social media platform made to fund the Atari movie, has nothing to do with either the Pineapple Fund or Neon District, other than offering the 1 million Coiin prize which no one has ever received because, well, coiin seems to have silently crawled out of view, delaying any kind of distribution and having nearly no actual information available online (at least last I checked, when the entire "where's the coiins?" question began being asked in the official discord channel for the Arcade)

Now that the fact checking is done with, Pineapple Arcade IS a superb project, and I've tried my hand at solving the cryptographic puzzles myself, though without much luck.

The Golden Pineapple puzzle is launching later today with (a tentative prize amount given by one of the team, and thus not a guarantee that that's what they've gone with) a 1 BTC prize for whoever solves it !
