To celebrate the upcoming launch of Vostok Inc. on Nintendo Switch, Wired Productions and Nosebleed Interactive are giving you the chance to win a cool $100,000,000. Yes, that’s for real. No, we don’t rate your chances of winning.

All you'll need to do is be the first person to visit every planet in our solar system (including Pluto). Landing on said planets is totally optional, the rules state you only need orbit each planet and provide "unedited, raw footage" as proof.

You have 100 years from today accomplish this feat. It may seem like a long time but Pluto is between 2.6 and 4.6 billion miles away, so you'd best get a move on. Send us a postcard.
Andreas Firnigl, Managing Director and Designer at Nosebleed Interactive, had this to say:

"I can’t believe Wired are putting this money up. Please make it clear whilst we think it’s great, in no way are Nosebleed actually paying for this!”

Neil Broadhead, Communications Manager at Wired Productions, continued:

"Yes they are. Our grandchildren might be very angry with us, and though it may seem far-fetched that this can be achieved within 100 years, the ideas behind Vostok Inc. and the recent ground-breaking technical advancements in solar sail and electromagnetic propulsion, like the Nintendo Switch, proves that anything is possible. For those who don’t want to put the 100 years into visiting the solar system, Vostok Inc. is the perfect way to explore the stars. Plus you can shoot a unicorn gun.”

Head on over to the website to download an application pack and read the small print.

We caught up with Andreas Firnigl at EGX (where we awarded
Vostok Inc. Game of the Show) for a quick interview.
