Your Next Gift Becomes an Adventure!
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 Wide Variety of Gifts Can Be Used
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:
- gift card holder
- gift certificates
- cash
- small toys, stuffed animals
- chocolate
- jewelry
- watches
- smart phones
- car keys
- concert/sporting/theater tickets
- and much more
A present given inside Puzzle Pod could be a huge hit at a White Elephant gift exchange.
Puzzle Pod makes a great gift for Hanukkah, Christmas, birthdays, graduation, retirement, anniversary, groomsman, and more. You can ship your present well ahead of time of a special day and allow them to open the package early - because they won’t be able to get to what’s wrapped up inside just yet. Then time your clues so that they start out hard and obscure at first and then gradually become easier as the special day approaches.
Game Play
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.?

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
My only real complaint would be that when entering the answer-code, it seems as though the device will open before the final letter (or final two letters) are entered. I think this is simply due to the interlocking “cogs” or whatever they are, not lining up perfectly, or being slightly loose as a whole. Not a big deal, and it may depend on the letter combination. But it seems with the pre-set password, I didn’t need the final letter to open the cryptex.
Still, I think for the price, and understanding that this is just a novelty, it’s a pretty good/affordable reconstruction of a cryptex. And it absolutely adds another layer of fun to sending or receiving gifts!
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!
The Puzzle Pod was easy to use and easy to program. Though it's all plastic, the quality is good. It's sturdily built and I have no concerns for breakage.
It's a nice size, but while I didn't expect much for this price, it's just really cheaply made. The stickers on each ring that are the letters (one big label with all the letters on it wrapped around the plastic wring) apparently aren't very well adhered, mine arrived "new" with one of the rings already having the letter sticker peeling off.
It's easy to change though - open it, pull the rings off, align things the way you want for the new word, put back in place, and it's done.
But the annoying thing is the top "cover" for the rings is not held in place, so when you open it, that top cover is loose on top and can slide right off, and depending on how the person is holding the bottom with the letters, another ring or two may come off as well then. Fortunately that's how you change the combination anyway, so it doesn't screw up the combination or anything.
So it's neat, and a fun thing, but just cheaply and poorly designed. I may look around for another one to use instead if I can find one that's better, and if not, this will at least do.
