5. **Operation**
5.1 The "Explorers" program is an initiative within the Pantelleria Experience application, designed to encourage and reward the exploration of the island of Pantelleria. Registered app users gain access to the program and have the chance to accumulate points, called Sese Points, by completing various activities and reaching designated checkpoints around the island. Each checkpoint has a difficulty level, and by unlocking them, users can advance through different levels, earning rewards and privileges based on the level reached. Rewards can include souvenirs, local products, discounts, and other exclusive offers provided by the company's partners.
5.2 **Starting Points:** Each new registered user will immediately receive 100 Sese Points and unlock level 1 - "You are a Sesiota."
5.3 **Checkpoints and Point Accumulation:** Throughout the island, there will be designated checkpoints indicated in the "Checkpoints" section of the app.
5.4 **Unlocking Checkpoints:** To unlock a checkpoint, the visitor must reach the designated location and find a sign with a recognizable QR code and initiative details. Scanning the QR code with their smartphone through the app will unlock the checkpoint, and the user will earn Sese Points based on the difficulty level of the checkpoint unlocked. Each checkpoint can be unlocked only once per the current year. The points assigned to each checkpoint can be viewed in the "Checkpoints" section.
5.5 **Difficulty Levels:** Each checkpoint will have a difficulty level, classified as easy, medium, or hard. The higher the difficulty, the more Sese Points can be accumulated.
5.6 **Leaderboard:** Users will accumulate points contributing to the current year's leaderboard and the all-time leaderboard. The annual leaderboard will reset at the end of each calendar year, on December 31, while the all-time leaderboard will remain unchanged over time. The top 3 ranked users each year will receive exclusive rewards offered by our partners.
5.7 **Levels:** Users can progress through 10 distinct levels, from "Sesiota" to "Pantesco," each representing an iconic era of Pantelleria, from the ancient Bronze Age culture to the fascinating mix of Mediterranean civilizations. Advancing through these levels, unlocking checkpoints, and accumulating points will immerse explorers in the island's millennial history, making them feel part of the epochs that have left their mark on Pantelleria.
5.8 **Level Advancement:** Each time a user unlocks a level, they can convert the accumulated points into predetermined rewards, indicated in the "How to Spend Sese Points" section of the app.
5.9 **Types of Rewards:** Rewards can include souvenirs offered by the company's partners, such as local products, handicrafts, artwork, personalized gadgets, discount coupons, or Sese Coins/Sese tokens*.
