DaVinci Cryptex


If any of you use Google much, you may have seen that they have been sponsoring the "DaVinci Code Quest" in anticipation of the upcoming movie. It is just a game with a series of puzzles to solve. So, since Tammy and I like puzzles, we decided to tackle these - they were fun to do in the evenings before going to bed. There were 24 daily puzzles (one released each day) that became increasingly more difficult as you went along (although they never got all that difficult). Anyway, the first 10,000 people to finish the 24 puzzles won their very own replica of the DaVinci Code cryptex. Those 10,000 people are also finalists and can compete for the grand prize (several trips to different places around the world and a bunch of other stuff). Tammy and I are proud to announce we did it! Now you can say you know one of the DaVinci Code Quest finalists! Our cryptex arrived in the mail today - we had to figure out how to unlock it to find out how to compete in the final (it wasn't too tough). The final challenge is this weekend - fastest to finish five puzzles wins. Wish us luck - 1 in 10,000 is better odds than most games you see! Posted by Picasa

Great job! I did the puzzles too but I didn't read the rules so I didn't realize it was the fastest who got the cryptex. There were times when I would start a puzzle, then a kid would freak out somehwere and I would leave it sitting there for hours! Well, good luck! The final prize trip sounds SPECTACULAR. And we won't charge you THAT much to baby sit your kids...
