Description

No more boring, unimaginative gifts for family, friends, and coworkers! No longer will you have to struggle coming up with a unique and special gift idea! Puzzle Pod transforms any ordinary present into something extraordinary - an interactive game played out between you and the recipient. Fun is in store for the both of you. Your gift inside becomes a prize to be captured when they solve your clues and crack the five-letter code word you’ve set. If you like brain teasers, puzzle boxes, money maze gift boxes, or a gift card puzzle, then this is for you! It will require some brainwork on your part in setting up a personalized mystery challenge. Likewise, it requires brainwork on the part of the person receiving it, who has to solve your clues. The challenge of the game doesn’t have to be very difficult and can be made easier, especially if you are giving it to a child. They’ll just need to work a bit, before getting their gift. You’ll choose and set your own five letter code word that allows the puzzle to be unlocked and the bottle to be removed. Resetting the combination is simple on this gift puzzle box and we provide large print, easy to read, clear instructions. You’ll have to set up a series of clues to give the person. For example, suppose you chose the code word BROWN. Harder clues could be: Sugar, Recluse, University, Cleveland, Eyed Girl, Football Team, Shoes, Cow, etc Easier ones could be: James (I feel good), or a really easy one like: UPS Color. Visit the Code Bank on our website for a listing of possible five letter words. A wrapped or unwrapped gift(s) needs to be able to fit through the bottles 2.8 inch diameter opening. The length of the gift must be less than 8 inches. This allows for plenty of options: Rules?.....Rules?: ….We don’t need no stinking rules! There are no rules.You get to use your own creativity and imagination to design a customized adventure or treasure hunt game. With this cryptex brain teaser puzzle you can send them off on a scavenger hunt, just like in the Da Vinci Code. It’s great for use as a secret puzzle box. Puzzle Pod works perfectly as an Escape Room challenge. Inside could be the key to unlock the door or perhaps another clue in a series leading to the exit solution. The combination can be reset an unlimited amount of times. Call, email, text, tweet, send smoke signals, or post to your Facebook page your clues daily, weekly, or monthly. The length of the game is up to you. It could last one evening, a week, a month, or longer. Could a clue be on a billboard, street sign, song titles, lyrics, movie dialogue, book tittles or passages, hidden on a hiking trail, spelled out in white coral on black lava rock somewhere in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii? Maybe clues lie with various people -relatives, coworkers, etc.? Combination Locking Coin Bank Because the combination on this brain teaser money puzzle can be changed, you could re-gift it, but you may want to hang on to it, because we’ve added features that allow it to be used as a cool coin bank too!. Or, you could bring it into work filled with chocolate truffles inside and taunt and challenge your co-workers to try to crack your candy jar code. Corporate/Client/ Promotional Gifts These make fun gifts for employee appreciation, company parties, or given to clients during the holiday season. How about setting one up for an office game? If you are exhibiting at a trade show, you can give clues to attendees and attract them back to your booth to crack the code and win what’s inside. Drive traffic to your website or brick and mortar retail store by setting up a game on your website, blog posts, news feeds, social media, advertisements or by coming into your store. The possibilities are limitless for how it can be integrated to promote your business. Get your game on!

This puzzle is awesome!
I bought two of these for my sisters for Christmas and put some cash inside. They are both in their twenties and had a blast trying to figure out the combinations. It is super fun to watch the faces of frustration of the person you give this to as they try to figure it out as well. There are millions of possibilities to set for the code, ensuring that the receiver will not stumble on the correct answer by chance. You can even reuse each puzzle as many times as you want by resetting the code. I have read some reviews complaining that the material the puzzle is made of is plastic and would be easy to break into. Yes, someone could take a hammer to it and "cheat" if they wanted. But ultimately this is a toy. If the person you are planning to buy this for is that boring, maybe you are better off buying them another sweater for Christmas. If you want to give someone a truly unique gift that they will always remember, this is the way to go! ... show more

EXTREMELY HAPPY & FUN PUZZLE!
This Puzzle Pod Cryptex-Brain Teaser & Coin Bank was a big hit with my husband when trying to figure out what 5 letter combination I had personally entered so as he could get the gift I had placed inside. This by far was one of the best & exciting ways to give a gift. Now we use it as a coin bank. However we can use it again if we decide to place another gift inside & can easily change the combination with a new 5 letter word. It can be used over & over again & the combination can be changed each time. The directions were easy to follow in changing the combination & putting the puzzle back together. There are many choices of puzzle type gift giving items on the market but I highly recommend purchasing this one! I felt like I received two items instead of one since this can also be used as a coin bank. ENJOY! ... show more

Puzzle Pod Cryptex - Brain Teaser & Coin Bank Review
The challenge is exiting; however, the construction leaves much to be desired. The bills in the ad are stiffened somehow...yours won't look like this once inside. The bottom has a coin slot, so it can also become a bank. One use could be for anyone who swears or does something contrary to an agreement, must "feed the kitty." When full, the contest to win the proceeds begins! There are many uses here. The container is roomy for small gifts of an assortment of bills as the prize/reward for decrypting the puzzle. A five-letter code (one letter per ring) is entered and can be changed for additional challenges. The rings are on VERY loosely and easily move out of place, so you should either decrypt on a flat surface of hold the previous layers steady so they don't move. Be careful in removing the capsule as the rings may move or the device come apart. In resetting a new code, DO NOT let the rings move or you may never figure out what happened or be able to reopen the capsule. With skill and care this can be managed and lots of fun had. I already have had a few challenges in the capsule for my family. My daughter posted a picture for her friends and some are asking where to get one! Each week I give a vague hint. The first to open it, get the "goods" inside. Pricing was great, delivery was fast, and packaging was secure. ... show more

Ingenious way to give a gift!
I bought two of these for my teenage sons, who like puzzles & games, and put all of their Christmas gift cards & cash in the pods. They could see what was inside, but couldn't get to the goods until they figured out the riddles I set before them. It took them the better part of the day to do so, and we all really enjoyed it. This is just a cool and inexpensive way to give gifts, and you can make it as hard, or easy, on the recipient as you want...You are only limited by your creativity. The puzzle pods can be customized to any 5 letter word over and over, are actually really decent quality, and can be given and re-given again. I highly recommend this product for anyone that is looking to give something special, in a unique way. Also, for those who give wine as gifts, check out the Vino Vault Wine Cryptex, which is another product this company has created, and which I have purchased too...Really great stuff! ... show more

This puzzle can easily be used multiple times in the future for cash, gift cards or clues to a game.
Gave this as a Christmas gift to my daughter & son-in-law and they really enjoyed it. It's a little more expensive than most of the other money/gift card puzzles out there, but this will be used again and again since they host many parties at which games are played. I did need to fold checks before inserting them, but both of them were very easy to insert together. It was a little tricky to be sure the letters already chosen stay in place while you spin the remaining rows, but that just required a finger or thumb to keep them in line. For someone who will reuse it many times in the future, it was worth the price. The level of difficulty is determined by the word selected as well as the clues that are given to the recipient. ... show more

Fun idea, but frustrating to use
I bought this as a Christmas present for my son several years ago. It was a fun idea, but unfortunately he didn’t end up using it very much. It wasn’t as easy to open as we expected, and ours would sometimes get stuck, which made it more frustrating than fun. The concept is really neat, but based on our experience, it could have worked a little more smoothly. ... show more

Perfect for adding some adventure to a gift!
I got this to challenge my cousins on Christmas. They loved the little get-the-ring-off type puzzles I gave them a few years ago, so I decided to try this. I thought up a word, then gave them clues for each letter and the word as a whole, but not in order and with no directions. They figured it out in about half an hour, but with about 7 or so people working on it at once. They all LOVED it! I put some candy and some directions on where to find their gift inside. They are looking forward to resetting it for future use. I didn't have any quality issues mentioned in previous reviews. But you have to be a little realistic too. This is priced, and built, like an entrainment piece. Would I like one made of metal and precision ball bearings? Sure! But I don't think I'd want to pay for that. Half the fun is in the hunt. All the parts worked as designed and looked decent. The opening is a little narrow, but will fit a gift card. I had no problem resetting the code word following the directions. If you take some time to make the puzzle solving a challenge and fun for the recipient, this will be a huge hit! I could see someone being a little disappointed if they had to spend a lot of time trying to rotate the rings around guessing at the code word, but if you have most of the challenge in discovering clues and working the code out, then this serves as a fantastic centerpiece to the mystery. ... show more

Fun for all ages!!!
Came across this to make giving my 17 year old nephew money for Christmas a little more fun. Looking at all of the different choices on Amazon, I’m really happy with this even though like some of the other reviews stated, it’s all plastic. Only gripe I have is when you finally do open it, the latches on the clear plastic piece stick and pull up some of the letters. Christmas was a lot of fun because I made a riddle scavenger hunt leading to the unlocking word that everyone participated in. Kids and adults alike will love this and found the final riddle difficult (try to solve it below). “When I take five and add six, I get eleven. But when I take six and add seven, I get one. What am I?” For the answer to the riddle, look at the first letter of each sentence in my review above. ... show more
