Da Vinci Code Quest II
Turns out I did manage to become one of the finalists for the Google Da Vinci Code Quest. DG and I received the prop cryptex yesterday. The password for the cryptex is printed right on the packaging—”GRAIL”—but DG was highly amused to discover that the prop was so simple, you only need to line up the last two letters to open the thing.
There’s one more part to the game—a timed trial of five puzzles. I imagine whoever wins will either be a games genius or have enlisted the help of her various puzzle-expert friends, but DG and I plan to give it a go anyway.
Da Vinci Code Quest
Well, I just finished the Da Vinci Code Quest on Google. DG and I have been doing it for over a month, but I had to be ready for the last puzzle, because the first 10,000 people to solve it get a free cryptex prop. It’s actually another part of the game, but we care less about that than just getting the prop.
Anyway, for the last puzzle you had to watch a movie on Google Video and then answer some DVC-related questions. I got through the whole thing, including filling out the address form in the end, in about sixty seconds. Hopefully it was enough–I’m not sure when they’ll let us know if we won. Either way, it was a fun little pastime for a few weeks.
