A local inventor and businessman launched a local-based online clue game, Gopher Wit, that is like an online treasure hunt that turns into a race.
It’s free to sign up and play, said 44-year-old Kem Gursoy, who devised the game.
Three clues are released on the game’s Web site everyday, and each is accompanied with an advertisement for one of the game’s sponsors. Gursoy said it will only take a few minutes each day to view the clues, and clues from previous days are always available.
During the game, members will have the opportunity to receive special offers and coupons from participating sponsors.
On the last day of the game, players are directed to a particular place in Collier County. The first person there who has correctly solved the puzzle takes home the $2000 prize package.

What a great idea. I’ll have to go check it out.

Sure it is great for local businesses wanting to advertise, but I think it is also a great way to get the community a little more involved. Nothing like a locally-based game to get everyone talking!

Im sure many people will try to play this new game in the net. I think who ever wants to play this game will have so much fun!

This sounds like a really cool new game to play. I agree with Angela with the game being not only fun but also involving the community and giving people something to talk about other then just pure gossip.
