Just over 3 weeks ago in order to promote the upcoming movie Google and Sony Pictures launched the Da Vinci Code quest. The quest, over the course of 24 days, consisted of logic puzzles. As a fan of logic puzzles, I was eager to play and looked forward to each day's puzzle. Some of puzzles I found easy (especially with using Google's search for the answers) and there were some that were a bit more challenging. The game consisted of 2 phases. Phase I is open to anyone that has a Google ID. Then there's Phase II (due to start in a few days) thats only open to first 10,000 that finish Phase I. The 10,000 finalists do get a prize with the winner of Phase II getting the Grand Prize (http://flash.sonypictures.com/movies/davincicodequest/us/prizing/).
Phase I was completed on May 10th and of course, the finalists wouldn't be notified until May 15th. On May 10th, I anxiously awaited for the last puzzle to be activated so I could complete it. I kept refreshing screen and t my HORROR, I was getting a server busy page. THEN… the server thought I was a BOT! Oh MY! What to do.. I tried it with FF then IE… I finally got IE to work. I frantically watched the video to get the answers and completed the puzzle and registration as fast as possible.
Then I waited.. and waited (for a week!).. and let me tell you.. I
don't wait well 
. The rules said I should be notified on May 15th if
I was a finalist. So all day long today, I kept periodically checking
my email… and there was no email by the time I left the office at 6pm.
I swore I finished the game within minutes…. but was that enough to be
a finalist. Then when I got home today.. and saw a little white box! I
tore open the box.. and what did I find…..
Then my email reaffirmed what the cryptex in the snail mail had indicated.
Least to say, I was quite happy and danced around with glee when I got my prize. This is what I really wanted when I started playing the game. Wish me luck in the finals!
