Puzzle-Solve On Cell Phones
« on: May 07, 2007, 01:09:00 PM »
I saw OffSPOT and I got this idea of hosting a mystery thing. I don’t know exactly what to call it. It could be like a quiz or a game or a puzzle. I can upload videos or wallpapers or ringtones or audio files to OffSPOT, right? So. I’d design a game of some kind, people would have to use a particular ringtone as password to get into an underground concert or something, and they’d have to upload their answers to questions I’d ask them in a video or something, and they’d compete for like a week or something until the mystery is solved. I don’t have everything worked out, but I’m sure people would like it. They’d be able to buy the video or wallpaper clues from OffSPOT for almost nothing, and upload their responses, so that they’d make money from other people downloading their stuff to solve the puzzle. I think it would work.

Oh!  I get it!  It would be sort of like when you have to have that one thing in order to not have to pay for something that nobody wants - only to find out that once you get it, it's a lot less something than something else you saw at another place.

let us know when you've got it all worked out. Count me in!

Doesn't sound like you have ANYthing worked out.
