 		 The end of the game
and how to give out the grand prize
Hi just posting to pick your brains about the game I making.

Ok with out giving away too must of the plot the plays will be have to solver number old mystic puzzles that will let them free some thing. The first person to this wins a prize (a small but cool prize).

The idea I've had to do this so far is for the play to type an aware in to a web site and they get back a code that they e-mail off back to me. But it a bit of an underwhelming end to a game and it can be hacked making an it unfair for all the real players.

Has any one tried this and fingered out the pit falls or do's any one have any better idea how you could do the end.

thanks Smile

 		Well, I'm not so sure what type of game this is, but if you're just looking for a good way to end it so that you know who finished first, you could always make the final puzzle lead to a phone number. Once the person calls, you can be a character or whatever works best for the storyline-- if you want to make sure they're a real player and not some random hacker, you could always give them a random trivia question about the game so you can "trust" them.

Then explain your "ending" or give a website that has a shocking ending (a website with a surprise video ending? The possibilities are endless Very Happy )
