That is so very true!
I bought/buy the puzzles themselves in order to gradually discover the magicians secrets and outsmart his hidden locking mechanisms.
The Isis1 physical golden pyramids and the free searches are to some extent physical puzzles too, I really enjoyed finding and visiting (some of) them, even though I did not know all passwords (yet
). Remember, the original Isis Adventure concept was for Ramisis keys to open the real golden pyramids too, and one new (real) pyramid would be released each month. That concept would definitely have maintained the interest of many more players, moreover it would have increased the number of exciting forum posts of adventureres on the hunt for 'their' pyramid or freesearch. The forum posts about solved searches and cracked pyramids are still the most exciting and inspiring ones!
Which one (or more) of the 'non-physical' puzzles has been as succesful or as exciting as the physical ones?
Ramisis game? Treasure chest? Puzzle box? Mystery picture? Platinum pyramid?
If the final Isis5 reward involves solving anything like the ramisis game or platinum pyramid, then Puzz may never be able to announce the end of the Isis Adventure...
In my head I am moving planets along their orbits while peeking into black holes, not entering door codes, e-mailing numbers, or deriving digits from images...
Go Puzz, make the Copernisis a perfect quality product, send it out, and enjoy our stories of astonishment and frustration about the puzzle itself in stead of about the waiting...
