History

  • The original Love Message in a Bottle was my idea in 2025 to fulfill a broken commitment to write my wife a love letter. When we were dating, I told her I would write her a beautiful letter to express to her how much she means to me. That was over 18 years ago. A Poet? I am not. I had tried many times to complete it but never found the words that express everything she means to me. We still joke about it.

  • So instead, I did what any procrastinating loving husband would do, I made her a puzzle with our wedding ring on it, and some secret messages only for her to figure out.

Game Theory / Game Dynamics

  • This game is found on the Code Breaker Academy, and Head Game Shelves.

  • I think this personalized puzzle idea could be a big seller around Valentine’s Day or for anniversaries, but it takes time to make (+10 days), so plan accordingly.

  • This puzzle is intended for true lovers with a life long commitment to each other.

  • You would also have to share your personalized messages, and/or a photo I could scan. Possibly even the pet name of your genetalia. Don’t worry, the witch doctor can keep secrets.

    ‘Awaken a New Master’… 

I hope you enjoy playing games,
as much as I have making them.
