Da Vinci Code Web Quest

In anticipation of the upcoming release of the Da Vinci Code movie, I completed the promotional web quest that can be found here. It's a fun way to get yourself psyched up for the movie, especially if you've already read the book.

If you attempt the web quest, you will need a few things to assist you.

• The Da Vinci Code (novel)
• A word processor (such as MS Word or Notepad)
• E-mail
• A telephone (I used Skype since I was calling from outside North America)
• Google
• A pen and paper

I have to admit that I cheated a bit on a couple of the problems, using sites on the Web that provided clues, but I did complete the quest. The end result was a little anti-climactic, but satisfying nonetheless. It makes you realize -- just as reading The Da Vinci Code does -- that solving mysteries involving symbols and codes can be a fun mental exercise.
