Superheroes as a genre has had an effect on us from the time of childhood. This effect has
definitely been increased by the advent of streaming services such as Netflix, Hotstar and Prime
video.
Undeniably, the greatest effect has been the MCU movies, spanning across 22 movies and now
being dubbed as the ‘Infinity Saga’.
Even though India has had a lot of exposure to these pop culture elements, we still haven’t
been fully immersed into this phenomenon as much as our western counterparts. Comic Con is
our first step towards experiencing that phenomena but even that has been missing from the
Chennai scene.
With Endgame happening in less than 5 days, SPI Cinemas along withPlanet of Geeks adds to
the excitement, launching ‘’Steal the Gauntlet” #whateverittakes. Steal the Gauntlet is the first-
of-its-kind event in India and it plans to immerse participants in this pop culture phenomena by
testing their knowledge on pop culture Trivia and more importantly testing their will to
succeed. This event is sponsored by Citibank and
executed in association with SPI Cinemas.
WHAT IS STEAL THE GAUNTLET?
Steal the Gauntlet is a Digital Scavenger hunt
where the players are to collect and possess The
(virtual) Gauntlet that has spawned across the
Chennai City.
This event allows the contestants to experience a new level of gaming in an open environment.
Here people solve riddles, hunt for Gauntlet that appear in the real world and also steal the
Gauntlet from the other contestants.
The Objective of the game is to have the longest holding time at the end of the day and you
stand a chance to win tickets to the Avengers Endgame.
The game is played on the ‘Planet of Geeks’ app which can be downloaded from both Google
play store and Apple store. The player needs to register at www.planetofgeeks.com for
participating in the game.
HOW TO COLLECT?

HOW TO STEAL?
To steal an enemy’s gauntlet, you have to answer the ‘Guardian’ question by tapping again on
the desired gauntlet.
Note : If you want to have an advantage in the game, visit Citibank kiosks set up in Sathyam
Cinemas across Royapettah, S2 Theyagaraja, Escape and Palazzo. They hold the answers to the
“Guardian Questions” protecting the Gauntlet and they might help you get an upper hand in
the game!
