What the heck is a Puzzlecard?
A Puzzlecard is a cutting-edge concept destined to take you or your business to the next level of entertainment. The premise is simple. A Puzzlecard is an adventure on the internet in which one may fully participate without ever having to leave a chair. It's a treasure hunt on a computer in which the ultimate prize is the secret message that you decide to send. The recipient must work through a multi-layered web enigma whose riddles encompass anything from the most advanced cryptography tools known today to the ancient art of wordplay, and everything and anything you can think of in-between. Find out that your prospective important client is a secret cryptogram fiend? Buy him a Puzzlecard and impress him with your thoughtfulness. Your little brother driving you crazy chanting that he has a secret? Send him a Puzzlecard to keep him occupied. Need to distract the boss while you play on the Net? Send him a Puzzlecard and watch your free time multiply.
Still unsure about what a Puzzlecard actually is? Check out the Examples page - but be prepared to put on your thinking cap.
Give us the name of someone you want to send a Puzzlecard to. Give us any extra information you would like to include - favorite colors, hobbies, music; birthday, job, type of car, photographs... or nothing at all. We are able to create a Puzzlecard from as little information as an e-mail address, although the more we know, the more personalized it will be. Tell us when you would like us to send the Puzzlecard to the recipient (please give us 4 weeks lead time). Then sit back and enjoy the reaction of the recipient as he or she tries to figure out the secret message you sent.
Anyone with e-mail access may send a Puzzlecard. For more advanced Puzzlecards the recipient may be required to have the latest Macromedia Flash Player installed.
