Detailed information about Puzzle Pod Cryptex Brain Teaser & Coin Bank

You can create a treasure hunt challenge if you are feeling particularly cruel and make the recipient of the gift go through all manner of questions and answer clues before finally finishing up with the code word. If you have seen the movie or read the book of the Da Vinci Code then you will know what kind of fun this type of cryptex can be. One thing we must stress however is to remember what code word the cryptex has been set to or otherwise the gift inside will be lost unless someone wants to smash the glass.

This Cryptex Puzzle Pod can be used time and time again just by resetting the code word combination so it can be re-gifted if required. If the recipient of this gift decides they want to keep it however there is a slot in the base just big enough to slide a coin through. This will allow someone to use it as a moneybox if they want to rather than a cryptex.
