Hi Mikal

Im a University student from England and have a project to create a “container” that will stretch the boundaries of peoples perception of such a device. I thought of a puzzle box inspired by the Resolute Desks on the film “National Treasure” with Nicholas Cage and whilst searching for inspiration on the internet i found your site. Whilst i do not plan to use the Reverse Geocache (TM) idea in any way (although sending my tutor to France to open the container is appealing)I have done some searching for Geocached items in the Lake District and I think your idea is fantastic. Really I just wanted to write to congratulate you on your idea as it seems like great fun!

I have to say this is rather exciting! And I love this “Black Floral” box best as your components are less invasive to the design of the box.

As a techie adventurous type, I think this is one of the best ideas I have ever heard of and would love to have a shot at building one! Any chance I could be included on the plans and I will keep you updated on any ideas I come up with in the creation!

Yes, I have shipped overseas. There’s a great story forthcoming about an Australian engagement that happened recently in fact. Stay tuned.

Hi Mikal,

I would also love to buy one of these.
Any chance you can ship them to France ?

Thanks

Thanks, Ryan. If you read my original posting, you’ll see that there is a “back door”. It’s not so sophisticated as yours, but it did what it needed to do at a crucial time!

Thanks for the note.

Hey Mikal,
Wow, this has to be one of the greatest inventions ever!
I have a few suggestions for you. Maybe have a plug on the back that plugs into the mains to charge up the batteries, it would be a major pain in the backside if the batteries ran out. I’m not sure if you already have it, but some sort of failsafe that you also plug into the back, like a plug that has a some sort of pulsing circuit, and if the box reads the pulses, it opens.
I know that you must have a backlog of requests for the schematics and code for this, but even for a small cost you could sell them to people who want to make it themselves. I am getting better with my electronics but not enough to make something of this magnitude!

Hi Mikal. I just saw this and had to leave a comment on this amazing device! I would be truly grateful for the plans and to be added to your lists. Thanks!
