Captcha is an acronym for: C ompletely a utomated p ublic t uring test to tell c omputers and h umans a part Captchas are specifically designed to make it difficult for computers to solve, but very easy for a human to recognize. It was initially used to prevent hackers from using automatic means and expanded to prevent bot frauds. For more exhaustive facts on captchas: see Wikipedia: CAPTCHA About Idle Treasure Hunt game Captchas The Idle Treasure Hunt game bot do not allow game play using automatic means, hence it will test players on an irregular basis by sending game captchas for players to resolve, and it will not be possible to continue playing the Idle Treasure Hunt game until any received captcha has been resolved. Captchas can randomly appear either in the DM channel with the game bot or to a server channel in which the player are currently sending game commands to. The captcha image itself can contain a mixture of capitol (uppercase) letters and small (lowercase) letters. Resolving a captcha is however not case sensitive, in other words, it is possible to answer with just lowercase letters. When game captchas appear in a server channel that the player is sending game bot commands to, the player will get the captcha directly in that channel: When game captchas appear via DM, the player will find a notification from the Idle Treasure Hunt game bot, in which a filled red circle with a number in it will be displayed at the corner of the game bot icon: To go directly to the game bot DM channel, click (PC) or tap (touch screen devices) on the game bot icon in order to see the captcha message that was sent to the DM channel: The player resolves a captcha by sending the letters that are displayed in the captcha image to the Idle Treasure Hunt game bot DM channel regardless of whether the captcha image appeared in a server channel or directly in the DM channel. For example: dkRZe (in the channel captcha example above) or fbdvyi (in the DM captcha example above): Players have several tries to resolve any captchas that have been received.
