About CrackAndReveal

CrackAndReveal is a web platform that transforms any content into an interactive puzzle. Create digital padlocks, share a link, and let your participants solve the challenge to discover the hidden content.

What is CrackAndReveal?

CrackAndReveal is a free online tool that hides content (text, links, images, HTML, PDF) behind interactive virtual padlocks. Creators choose from 14 lock types, set the secret code, and share a link or QR code. Participants open the link on their smartphone and must solve the puzzle to access the content.

No technical skills required. Creating a padlock takes less than 2 minutes. The tool is used by teachers, escape game organizers, companies for team building, and individuals for creative gift-giving.
