What do you call a present, in four letters?
Wrong answer, try again.
A surprise gift reveal is a locked link that hides what you are giving. A trip, a voucher, a concert ticket, or the gift itself sits behind a small lock, and they crack the code to reveal it. Free, no app, and the wait before the lock opens is part of the present.
Write what the gift is, add a photo of it or the booking, and choose an easy question with a personal hint.
Print the QR code in a card or on the wrapping, or send the link by text. The hint makes them work for it.
They crack the code and the gift appears on their phone, with a short build-up before they see it.
Designed down to the last detail
Nothing on the screen is fixed. Pick a theme, choose a filmed object that fidgets while the lock holds and opens on video, with sound, when the code is right, then a celebration for the moment it opens. Set the typeface and size, and end on your own reveal. Your players see exactly the screen you designed.
Everything you can design on a lock →51 themes, and more in the builder. Each one paints the lock, its keys and its button.
45 filmed objects that fidget while the lock holds and open on video, with sound, when the lock gives way.
