40,000 ⭐ Grand Prize · already in the treasury

The full 40,000 ⭐ Grand Prize is pre-funded by Feanor Services LLC — locked in the treasury today, payable to one winner on March 11, 2027. Decided by the highest single score during Grand Prize Week.

🏆 The 40,000 ⭐ Grand Prize

Stack entries all year. Burn them on Grand Prize Week.

Every day a Day pass (or higher) is active = 1 saved entry you'll spend during Grand Prize Week (Mar 5–11, 2027). Each entry = 1 play attempt at Chapter 40's championship game. Highest single score across the week wins. During GP Week, single plays jump from 4 ⭐ to 80 ⭐ (20× premium) — so pre-bought entries are visibly worth ~20× what was paid.

Francisco Cordoba
MIT Innovator · Marie Curie Fellow

I've built 40 businesses across 40 countries. I'll share one real story every Friday — paired with a game you actually play.

I'm Francisco. Lived in 40 countries, recognized by MIT as Innovator, won the Blackberry and the Bank of Cyprus hackathons, ran a 105 km ultramarathon in Spain, trained for 21 days with Monks in Thailand, been rejected by Y Combinator 15 times, built startups in Singapore, the UK, the US and Colombia.

For my 40th birthday I'm doing something I've never seen anyone else do: dropping 40 of the most-defining personal stories from my life as weekly chapters — each paired with a 40-second skill game where you can win real Stars. The stories are the fuel. The game is what you play. The prizes are what you win.

Questions

Frequently asked.

How do I enter the 40,000 ⭐ Grand Prize?
Buy a Day pass (20 ⭐) or higher and you're in. Every day of access = 1 Grand Prize entry, saved up for the final week. Day pass = 1 entry, Week (100 ⭐) = 7, Month (350 ⭐) = 30, Full Arc (2,000 ⭐) = 280, Founding Ticket (1,200 ⭐) = 280. Single 4 ⭐ plays count only toward the daily prize. Grand Prize Week is March 5–11, 2027 — you burn through your saved entries on Chapter 40's championship game, and the highest single play across the week wins the 40,000 ⭐+ Grand Prize. During GP Week, single plays jump to 80 ⭐ each — so a Founding 400 buyer who paid 1,200 ⭐ for 280 entries arrives with 22,400 ⭐ of plays in market value (an 18.7× return realized the moment GP Week opens).
How do I actually win real money?
Top scorer each day wins 200 ⭐ Telegram Stars. You can withdraw Stars → TON → USDT → fiat anytime. The Grand Prize on Mar 11, 2027 is a flat 40,000 ⭐ — already pre-funded by Feanor Services LLC and sitting in the treasury today. Decided by the highest single score during Grand Prize Week (Mar 5–11, 2027). Everything paid in Telegram Stars, real, redeemable.
What if I don't have Telegram?
Install Telegram (free, 30 seconds). Open @Fortystoriesbot. The mini-app opens inside Telegram — no extra signup, your Telegram ID auto-logs you in. You're playing in 40 seconds.
Are the games hard?
40 seconds each. Mobile-first. 8 game types across 40 weeks (reaction speed, memory, pattern, math, word, strategy, trivia, maze). Skill-based — practice makes you faster. Daily winner is the top score that day, so consistency wins more than raw skill.
Why 1,200 ⭐? What does it actually buy me?
1,200 Telegram Stars = the Founding Ticket. That gets you full access to all 40 weeks (40% off the standalone Full Arc Pass at 2,000 ⭐), plus daily prize eligibility every day for 40 weeks, 280 Grand Prize entries (one per day of access), plus a 25% affiliate link so you can earn Stars from referrals. The first 400 buyers lock this rate forever.
How do I cash out my Stars to real money?
In @Fortystoriesbot, run /cashout. Telegram's native flow walks you through Stars → TON → USDT. Takes about 2 minutes. From there, withdraw to any wallet or exchange. For regions with weak TON liquidity, manual USDT-TRC20 fallback available on request.
What if I miss a week?
Daily leaderboards reset every 24h, but your Grand Prize entries don't expire. Skip a week or two — every Day pass (or longer) you've already bought still counts toward the Day-280 (Mar 11, 2027) Grand Prize race. Founding Ticket holders get all 280 entries plus all 40 chapters anyway.
Where in the world does this work?
Globally — anywhere Telegram works. Prize withdrawal (Stars → TON → real money) depends on local crypto availability. Backup option (direct USDT) for regions where TON-to-fiat is limited.
Wait — is this gambling?
No. This is a skill-based game challenge. You don't bet on chance. You compete on how fast and accurate you play the 40-second mini-games each day. The better you play, the more you win. Like an arcade leaderboard, not a casino. We operate legally under skill-gaming rules globally. Full Terms & Conditions in the footer.

400 Founding spots. 30 days only.
Then full price forever.

Get in before July 5 to lock the founding rate for life. First 400 buyers also get the affiliate link, the printed-book credit, and the lifetime cohort badge.
