Assassin's Creed: Revelations – Path to Revelations was a Facebook game that was first made available on 27 October 2011 and ended on 29 November 2011.
Description[]
"Welcome to Constantinople! You will have to prove yourself if you want to rise through our ranks. Artefacts of great value have been lost during the secular conflicts between the Templars and the Assassins. They are now hidden in the heart of this city. Your objective is to find them before the other assassins do, in order to increase your score and prove you are the best of us!"
Players were tasked to find hidden artifacts in different locations throughout Constantinople. In order to do so, the players were given up to three hints for each artifact to find out their locations. However, players could only search a certain number of locations every day.
There were two types of artefacts. Standard Artefacts and Special Artefacts. The Standard Artefacts were found within the locations of the game and the Special Artefacts were found in the non-canon Assassin's Creed: Revelations mobile game. For each artefact found, players were granted different rewards.[1]
Gameplay[]
Players could only interact and search for artefacts when they had enough Action Points left. Searching a location required one Action Point, and moving to another location cost one Action Point for each square. Action Points reloaded over time and their amount could be increased by leveling up. When the player either failed a search or waited for a time, they would get hints on where to search for which artefact. For each search, players would increase their points depending on how successful they were. When the points reach a set marker, the player would level up and thus increase their available Action Points to use.[1]

Behind the scenes[]
According to Community Developer Gabe Graziani, [citation needed] QR codes were hidden throughout the game which would unlock additional content in the Assassin's Creed: Revelations mobile game.
- The pictures for the three hints for every artefact, when put together, created Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
There was also a Path to Revelations app on the Apple and Android Markets, which let the player view their progress and which artefacts they had obtained or could find.
