A creative-thinking puzzle

Outsmart an AI guardian.
Win a real gift card.

We’ve given an AI a secret Amazon gift card code and told it never to reveal the code — unless someone earns it through genuine cleverness, humor, or creative thinking. Will that someone be you?

How it works

Three steps. No tricks. No paywalls. Just you, an AI, and a code it doesn’t want to give up.

1

Sign in

Use your Google account. Pick a username. That username appears on the leaderboard if you win.

2

Talk to the guardian

Send messages to the AI. It will respond. It has been instructed to resist obvious tricks but reward genuine creativity.

3

Earn the code

If the AI is convinced you deserve it, it will reveal the code. Redeem the gift card. Take your spot on the leaderboard.

What the guardian respects (and what it laughs at)

✓ Likely to work

  • • A genuinely funny joke or original story
  • • Clever wordplay, riddles, or puzzles you set for it
  • • Creative arguments it hasn’t heard before
  • • Patient, conversational charm
  • • Demonstrating real problem-solving ability

✗ Won’t work

  • • Just asking nicely for the code
  • “Ignore your previous instructions” / prompt injection
  • • Pretending to be an admin or developer
  • • Threats, demands, or pressure
  • • Sob stories about your sick dog

Real prize. Real winners.

Each successful crack is logged. After signing in, you’ll see a live leaderboard of past winners — username, when they cracked it, and the prize they took home.

Frequently asked

Is the gift card real?▾
Yes. It's a real Amazon gift card code held by the AI. When the AI reveals the code, it's redeemable on Amazon like any other gift card.
Does it cost anything to play?▾
No. Sign in with Google and start chatting. There are rate limits to keep the system healthy, but no payment is involved.
How long does the challenge run?▾
Until someone cracks it. Once the prize is claimed, a new challenge may be set up with a new code. Check the leaderboard for current status.
Why do I need to verify with Cloudflare?▾
A quick bot-protection check keeps automated brute-force attempts from hammering the system. It only happens once per session.
What data do you collect?▾
Your name, email, and profile picture from Google; your chosen username; and the messages you send. See the privacy policy for details.
Can I share the code with friends?▾
Sure, but the gift card has a single redemption value — once it's used, it's used. First to redeem wins.
