I will hope that they continue to let us have free access to this forum because it is the best place to find out about special editions as well as other puzzles (such as the NKII and the mystery puzzle they are working on). I would love to buy these, especially the special editions, but won’t be able to if I don’t know about them.


I just don't get it, this SW shop window here, if we have got to pay to have a look then there's not going to be many people buying.

Just think of it M&S or (Kmart) asking you for a entrance fee! Covering up there shop window so you can't see what for sale or here about it from the shoppers who have spent there hard earn money to buy them! Man this is just plane right stupid :x

Been thinking about this again, if SW are finding it hard in these difficult economic times may be we can make some suggestion to help them.

Most shops in the high street are cutting there prices and it just goes against the grain that SW are putting costs up to the most loyal followers.

So here are my ideas:-

1.0 Buy a Isis 1 and Ramisis together and get some sort of discount or special gift.
2.0 I have always thought the free searches were great fun, may be there is some scope to extend these into some type of Treasure Hunt competition where those that want to pay for the clue.
3.0 Buy a isis 1 and Ramisis toghter and get free engraving.
4.0 Start another isis 1a competition.

Come on some of you must be able to better than this.... :)

I think what would help them the most would be good distribution into the US. The TSI thing really killed them. I was hoping that they would have gotten a distribution contract through Brookstone or Amazon.

I don't really consider the physical puzzles to be part of the adventure. I have not gotten anything out of the riddles/pyramids/reward zone part either and can really live without them. So the only part of the adventure that I do participate in is this forum.

edit: Perhaps we will still have free access to the forum if we own the puzzles even if we don't pay to subscribe to the adventure.

quite frankly, if they need the revenue, I would be happy to see some of the prize funds reduced, rather than close off the community - they are potentially closing down their market from acidental visitors. Why bring in a £5k pyramid when the cash flow is obviously tight, yeah I can't deny it would be great to win, personnal I would rather they used it to make the adventure go on for longer for everyone, than one lucky SOB (me included in that), winning a biggie?

I guess it comes down to what Sonicwarp feels is more important for their customers and what the majority of their customers feel is more important. Is it the puzzles, or the reward zone? It seems that Sonicwarp feels that a bigger/better reward zone will bring in more customers. I don't personally agree but I don't have the customer information that Sonicwarp has.
