Description
🎯 Goal:
We will hide a secret message inside README.md that hints at the Easter Egg. Users who find it will be guided to a hidden challenge.
🛠 Steps to Implement:
- Inside
README.md, add this hidden comment:
<!-- 🏺 The Lost Scroll of Alexandria 🏺
Congratulations, traveler! You have uncovered an ancient secret.
To reveal its true power, run:
npm run decipher-scroll
And enter the code: "ALEXANDRIA-300BC"
-->
- Ensure this message does not appear in normal rendering.
- Test by checking that users can only see it when inspecting the Markdown source.
✅ Expected Outcome: users who inspect the README will find this hidden clue and be directed to the next part of the challenge
