The Google The Da Vinci Code Quest is a movie contest tie in that has some pretty nifty prizes including a trip to New York, Rome, London, and Paris. Its made up of several rounds, the first of which was to be the first 10000 the complete the 24 part contest. These 10,000 then receive via mail a Cryptex inside of which is the link to go to for the final round. The final round is to complete a 5 part contest is fastest cumulative time. The fastest wins the grand prize.
Usually notification was supposed be via email. Oddly enough, I actually got the Cryptex via snail mail before getting the notification. Even though unlikely to win the grand prize, I have to admit I am pleased at winning the cryptex. Its a pretty nifty device that is better constructed then I would have thought for an online contest. Instead of being made completely of plastic its made of a metal alloy with the keys being the only plastic part. It feels quite sturdy in the hand, maybe wieghts 1 - 2 pounds. Nice details on the outside edges. Basically a nice little consolation prize.
Once you open the Cryptex inside is a little tiny note that says:
Congratulations, you have proven worthy of the Da Vinci Code Quest on Google, visit www.Google.com/---- to see if your journey continues."
