The world around you drops away as your entire consciousness is fixated on a sudden manifestation of abstract words, letters, and near-parallel lines.

As your mind begins to comprehend this chaotic structure, a primary phrase starts to emerge.

How does it work?

Puzzle cards are an escape room-type experience in a greeting card. The scene illustrated within the card presents you with a series of written, visual, and abstract clues. These clues will need to be found and pieced together to solve the puzzle and “escape the video store”. The solution to the puzzle is a codeword.

On the back of the card will be a website address that you can follow to check that your solution is correct.

Just like an escape room, you can solve it by yourself or with friends.

How does this card work as a gift?

This is the perfect birthday card for a friend or family member who loves movies, puzzles and who thinks they are too clever. There is space on the back to write a heartfelt message but for a little extra fun, tell them they won’t get their birthday gift until the puzzle is solved and they have given you the code word.

What to buy for a friend that loves crosswords?

Puzzle cards instantly turn a greeting card into a fun, challenging, and engaging experience. Just like an escape room, you can solve it by yourself or with friends.

This card is perfect for crossword buffs, anagram lovers, and word-sleuthers alike. Not so skilled in the English language? You can still work through the clues and compensate with a bit of Googling.

Buying for a friend's birthday? For some added fun; withhold their birthday gift until they've solved the puzzle.
