Questions about this template

What do guests see when they open it?
A lock with three balloons and a one-line riddle. Once they pick the right colours, the invitation opens with your party details: date, time, address, or whatever you write in the reveal.
Is it too hard for kids or grandparents?
No. The riddle uses everyday colours, a pair of jeans and a traffic light, and an optional hint nearly gives the answer away. A wrong try just shows a friendly message.
Can I send it on WhatsApp?
Yes. It is a single link, so paste it into WhatsApp, a text or an email. You also get a QR code to print on a paper card.
Is this template free?
Playing it and editing it in the builder are free for everyone. Publishing it with its paid options needs an Event Pass or Pro; remove them at Publish and it goes live on the free plan, for good.
Can I change the answers and the texts?
Yes. Every code, clue, hint and reward opens in the builder, and nothing is saved until you publish.
What do players need?
A phone or a computer with a browser. They open your link or scan your QR code, and never create an account.
How long does it take to play?
About 5 minutes, from the first lock to the reward.
