A couple more VP's will be added this week to the USA map, remember the credit system will help you crack the passwords, and weve discounted 10 credits now.

Also you can try for real pyramids, unfortunately only in Europe at the moment.

The TSI award zome is also available.

if we've already won a prize, we wouldn't be able to try to solve the riddle for the virtual pyramids would we?

So, how do the rules apply if a person knows where a pyramid is but cannot get to that location. Can they be correct with a password, and have the coin shipped to them??

I don't think so.. part of the task is being able to get to the pyramid.. i mean, some people travel long distances. that's why the prize is worth alot more than the virtual pyramids.. So until we get pyramids closer to our location, we're out of luck until then..

The VP's are different from real pyramids, all you have to do is work out the password, you dont need to travel to the location.

If you have a valid Isis, ie one that hasnt won a prize already, and you have solved it, so you have the key number, which you will also need - the KEY that is, then you can go for it.

If you get it right we will send you the gold coin and a cheque for $500.00

Its easy !!!!!

Obviously if you have used your isis on a prize already, you will need to purchase another and get it solved and get a key from us before you can claim the gold coin.

We get a Gold coin and $500. woohoo

Need a gold coin :shock: need a gold coin :shock: need a gold coin :shock:

How many gold coins do you get with the real pyramids? And do you get to keep the gold pyramid?

I saw in the TUT gift shop online they had bronze pyramids just like SonicWarps for sale.

I did it!!!!

Hello everyone,
I am the winner of virtual pyramid #24, the one in Vegas I believe. A few questions for PUZZ. How exactly do I collect? I printed out the page and it has a phone number for the UK. Do I really need to call all the way there? Also I sent an e-mail to TSI about getting my key, and they acknowledged it, but it has not arrived yet. I am so excited to be the winner. I can really use that $500! One more thing. I think I wound up buying four tries at guessing, but only used 1. The site was acting flaky, so I needed to purcahse an extra one. Is there any chance I can get those unused guesses back since I cannot use them now? Feel free to send me a PM thanks... I am SOOO excited...

P.S. As soon as all of the confirmations are taken care of. (I do not want to loose the $500 somehow) I will come back and post the riddle and what the solution was. Provided that is OK with PUZZ and the moderators...

nice one armor99, congratulations.
I would expect that you would have to call the UK number. It seems that very few people have access to the actual passwords and therfore it may only be able to be verified from the UK.

As for the cost of the phone call and the unused guesses... hey, you've just won $500 :)

But more significantly... you will have a gold coin.... nice one...

Congratulations Armor99 :D

Sorry, I don't know how to claim for the VP either. I'm guessing that you do have to call SW as the winning page asked you too, but calls to the UK are quite cheep now :)

To claim a key for your ISIS, I think you should email SW, not TSI.

Karen :)

Well done to you Armor99!!! (Saw that pyramid 24 wasn't on the map and wondered what had happened) Look forward to hearing how you cracked the clue!

BTW - Notice that there's a new one in Scotland (Glasgow by the looks of it) and also pyramid 23 seems to be missing (but can't recall if it appeared on the map in the first place or where it was - anyone out there keep a closer eye on this?)

Folks,

To claim the $500 reward and get a gold coin, you must email vp@sonicwarp.com

You need to email us and include:
1. The complete solution.
2. Your Isis numbers.
3. Provide photo evidence you have a key(you need to apply for a key before we process the funds).
4. Provide photo evidence you have solved the Isis correctly, showing both the outside and the number inside.
5. Send us your bank details for funds transfer (it is your responsibility to provide Sonicwarp with your correct banking details, we will not be responsible if the funds go missing because you have provided incorrect bank details).
6.Once the funds have been transferred please post on the isisadventure forum your adventure so far.

Any addition password credits purchased etc. will not be refunded, but these can of course be used a later date if another Isis is purchased.
